Amazing culture - Anonymous employee Plugable Employee Review

Plugable has grown a lot over its 10 years. Some of the criticism voiced here is fair; some are just laughable. A few of these reviews aren't even from Plugable employees, but rather SDEs from a sister company which did not succeed and wanted to shift their failure onto CEO - for those with motivation to do more, Plugable will accommodate. opportunities for growth is possible, but you need to be a go-getter. Rewards won't be just handed to you as some previous employees here thought they are entitled to - Pretty decent benefits package (no 401k, but SIMPLE IRA) - great company atmosphere with monthly events - office space is undergoing remodel to address some of the concerns made

-The criticism with the CEO is fair. The process of moving away from a flat management structure is underway and in a good direction, but CEO does still have ultimate powers over decisions on mostly anything. this has the potential to create problems. Will continue to update this to address my experience.

Small, friendly, and flexible office environment. Enough variety in tasks to avoid monotony. Good benefits for a small employer. Small team means meaningful opportunities to dive projects and get valuable experience. If you are good with abstract situations and finding your own way in a generalist role, this is a great place to work.

The health stipend vs is nice and a demonstration that the company and founder have your back, although not as compelling as a formal insurance plan. Combined with the lack of a formal retirement plan, it leads to a lot of uncertainty with unpredictable long term costs. Small team means you basically have to create any growth opportunities for yourself. If you want to develop specialized skills, it can be hard to stay focused given the generalist nature of the role.
