Pros

I've been with the company and subsidiary Buyerlink for over 4 years now. Leadership and management are experienced visionaries, understand the markets we operate in, and have provide excellent guidance to us on how to execute on our operating plans. From a sales perspective, we are compensated well and have a lot of support within the company to ensure we deliver to our clients what they need to be succesful on our platform. Also, the culture here is unlike many companies I have worked in in the past. Everybody here has a voice, and the various teams collaborate well, sharing ideas and providing constructive feedback to each other. Most importantly people treat each other with respect and care about each other. This value in particular is emphasized among all on the leadership team.

Cons

My main complaint is ensuring we have the right support to handle the growth we have seen in last few years. A lot of this has been addressed in the past year, but there have been periods where we are growing and adding new client partners too quickly, and we have not had enough support staff to onboard and manage these accounts.

Pros

- Being a smaller company, employees are given independence to voice new ideas and try new things. Managers are always there if someone wants help and it really is a great company in terms of giving employees independence and not micro-managing. - The company provides lunches daily for all team members as well as a full kitchen stocked with many healthy snacks and drinks - The company has many different offices around the world including California and Utah in the US, Toranto and Victoria in Canada, as well as Armenia and Guatemala. While almost all team members never change offices indefinetly, some work in different offices for a week or so and its always fun having departments with team members from different backgrounds. - One Planet provides 5-10 service days (paid days off) per year where employees are encouraged but not required to do volunteer work. I think most people love to give back to others when they can and these are always a great oportunity. This is in addition to a conventional PTO system of 15 days off plus holidays. - The company has two company parties a year with one being near the end of the summer and the second being a holiday party to end the year.

Cons

- The 15 PTO days off a year does not include sick days. - In the past if Christmas Eve or New Years Eve falls on a weekday, it has been a "manditory" pto day. People have the option to work those days, if they dont want to use their PTO, but it would be nice if they were just holidays.

Pros

The office is clean, and there is food in the office and parking.

Cons

Salaries at this company hover near the lower end of the spectrum, and securing a raise feels akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. The much-touted “profit share” payouts, like elusive mythical creatures, materialize infrequently and prove disappointingly insignificant when they do. Curiously, Payam proudly maintains that OPG is a profitable venture, and its annual profits seem to swell year after year. Yet, paradoxically, the sole beneficiary of these profit shares is the very capitalist who disavows their capitalist identity—an intriguing enigma. Meanwhile, employees grapple with astronomical healthcare contributions, a stark contrast to what counterparts pay at similar companies in the Bay Area. Although Payam has never explicitly stated it, the company’s trajectory appears to favor hiring team members outside of the U.S. as a means to maximize the size of his bank account —a direction that has persisted for years.

Thank you for taking the time to offer this feedback. Our company has an open and honest culture, and we try to be transparent about the review process and how promotions and raises take place. We are always looking at our processes and trying to improve. As of last year, we are only hiring employees who can report to an office full-time, so we are clustering our hiring efforts around our physical office locations – Walnut Creek, CA; American Fork, UT; Victoria, BC; Yerevan, Armenia; and Dnipro, Ukraine. We are categorically against the remote work trend and have written about it extensively on our company’s blog.
