Pros

Most of the employees at Plotly were great to work with. There is a diverse group of prospects who are interested in Plotly, so you are able to learn quite a bit about different industries and workflow needs.

Cons

The CEO of this company is a very poor leader to say the least. His lack of effective communication skills both internally to employees and externally to clients is shocking. The CEO is also very reactive in nature verses proactive. He also has a general lack of respect for people that I believe most people working at Plotly and some clients will experience at some point or another if they have not already. Compensation is also very low.

Pros

Over the past few years, Plotly has proven its worth by slowly transforming itself from a tech. start-up to a young, ambitious SME in Canada. Working with Plotly has broadened my perspective and enhanced my knowledge of the tech. start-up world. Plotly has a very unique working culture which allows the employees to develop their own motivation and strength in the daily working environment. A fun fact: Everyone works in Plotly has his/ her own specific hobby - more or less artistic or sportive.

Cons

Plotly is still in its process of transformation, which also means that some policies or strategies will be adjusted or added according to different situations. In general, it is great for a young company keeps moving on and improving itself, however it may shake the stability within from time to time.

Pros

Working on small, interdepartmental teams gives individuals a lot of responsibility while facilitating the acquisition of new skills. Having the opportunity to learn and expand my skillsets on a regular (if not daily) basis is my favourite part about working at Plotly. It's super rewarding to see the products develop, improve, and expand due to the knowledge and creativity of the team as a whole.

Cons

Plotly is still considered a startup and as an employee you must be flexible and adaptive as plans and structures change often. While these changes can be considered exciting rather than a con, if you're used to strict and long-term consistency you may find this environment to be difficult.
