Planhat was recommended to me. I was super excited to join a start-up in a growing industry.

After joining were your exceptions met?

All my expectations were exceeded! I love working remote (especially with children) and I love that we travel around the world for meet-ups. Before Planhat I had only left the UK once – already I have left the UK twice for Planhat meet-ups in Sweden and Croatia.

Everyone is helpful, friendly, hard working, and intelligent. I'm building a fantastic network whilst making friends along the way. I'm also attending a more luxurious gym that I enjoy on a regular basis thanks to a Planhat perk.

It's phenomenal how quickly the company is growing. The senior team listen to feedback, they care about their employees and working alongside us day-by-day, which is nice – we’re a true team.

What intrigued you about Planhat in the first place?

When I read about Planhat I was sold. I believed in the vision and could see how needed the platform is in this market. You’ve heard the saying, a good product (mostly) sells itself. It’s also important for me to work for a company that strives to continuously innovate because that means adaptation to change and new opportunities.

What ultimately made you decide to join?

I interviewed for a year, turning down many companies before interviewing at Planhat. It was not the run of the mill questions that I was accustomed to and prepared for – Planhat took time to ask about me as an individual. It was authentic and unconventional – and refreshing. It told me that they truly care about who they hire and gave me insight into the leadership style of whom I’ll be working alongside.

Working at a startup was something I had always wanted to experience. I knew it would strengthen my skills as a generalist and challenge me (as I was going to be one of the first hires in the states!).

What has surprised you?

How we approach business differently. We don’t work with just anyone, all customers have to go through a technical validation before we move forward with a partnership to ensure it’s a great fit. This really contributes to our retention and overall customer satisfaction.

How supportive senior management is. There is an open door to any c-suite or senior manager you want to have a conversation with. Plus, being a remote first company the way we're able to share knowledge is impressive.

Challenging, fun, rewarding, and sometimes even a bit chaotic.

What’s your best memory so far?

Our team meetup in Sweden this summer. We get together regularly as a team to celebrate the end of the quarter, look ahead, and simply spend time together. We stayed in a beautiful location surrounded by forests and lakes - it was a perfect moment to wind down, reflect, and re-energise as a team.

Why did you join Planhat?

When I first discovered Planhat in July 2020, I thought it sounded a little too good to be true. With only 20+ employees, the company was under the radar as the main focus had been to build the best CS product. With some skepticism (but mostly excitement!) I decided to join as the first marketing employee. Two years later, I'm still very happy that I did!
