Life At Planet
"What sets us apart is how mission and ethics driven Planet is as a company. As a PBC (public-benefit corporation), Planet is in a unique position to be environmentalists and humanitarians, while working towards such a specific goal which is to capture Earth’s daily shifts through satellite imagery. This mission statement is what drives my work every day and the strength of this task continues to characterize the inquisitive nature of Planet’s culture."
Isil Demir
VP of Mission Systems, Planeteer for 10+ years
"At Planet, our culture isn’t something that was decided once and handed down from the top. It’s something we’ve built together over time and something we keep building. Our mission as a Public Benefit Corporation is a big part of what connects us, but culture is also in the everyday stuff: how we work together, how we solve hard problems, how we treat each other, and what we choose to make important. Some parts of Planet have been with us from the beginning. Other parts have changed as we’ve grown. That’s a good thing. Our culture should feel like us; the people who are here today, the people who helped build Planet, and the people who will help shape what comes next. "
