Planck
The Planckists – Planck workers, do not miss a single perfect sunset – in the technological section. All thanks to a unique camera created by one of the groups in the Planckathon (Planck’s hackathon, of course) whose purpose is to identify perfect sunsets and call Slack employees. What is called, experiencing the moment, effectively. But a development – as cool as it is is incomplete without a view of the sea, so of course the offices (which are on the 12th floor of the Harbea Towers in Tel Aviv) include a beautiful view of the sea, proximity to public transportation and the train, meeting rooms named after scientists, designer sofas and space-style areas with Perfect acoustics. In the game room, of course, there is a PlayStation 5, some VR, guitars and amplifiers, and the company does not deny rumors of a drum set and an official Plank band.
The company, established in 2016, employs about 80 men and women. The working hours are flexible so that everyone, including those who work in the offices in New York and Chicago, will be comfortable and adapted to the needs of work and home. The company’s platform scans the web, locates and processes using AI images, videos, text, surfer reviews, satellite images and more, with the aim of generating insights about businesses around the world. The company’s activity is particularly prominent in the business insurance market, which is one of the largest markets in the world and its work is based on information analysis.
