Pros

Fully remote is really nice but can be hard to feel a connection to colleagues and team. Unlimited vacation is really nice perk but there is a fair amount of red tape around when you can take it - overall a really nice benefit though.

Cons

There is one particular leader on the marketing team who is the worst boss I’ve ever had. Doesn’t onboard and train at all, throws things at you and gets mean when you ask questions about it or need help. Constantly says “I want you to ask question or suggest new ways of doing things - I love that!” then when you do that just gets so peeved with you and completely belittles you. Did it to so many other people in meetings was just so rude to people and is creating a culture of this within the whole marketing team because one of her “favorite” employees absolutely chewed someone else out in a meeting because she didn’t like an idea that they shared. The final straw was when a really sad situation happened with an employee in the company and people were very shaken up and she barely acknowledged it, was so flippant about it and was adamant that a particular meeting needed to happen despite people who were affected by the incident. There is very much a culture on the marketing team that everything is a huge deal and needs to happen so fast when it’s just not the reality.

Pros

There are some very dedicated, talented and well intentioned people who work there. For awhile it felt like the organization was building and doing great things. The salary felt fairly competitive with the industry standard.

Cons

Don't look too closely under the hood if you don't want to stop believing in the illusion. The product is no longer as strong as it once was, the PD and CS have gone way downhill, they care more about profit than people and they are no longer mission driven but success and money driven. They talk a good game, but many people there are ruthless so watch your back. They do a good job of making you feel like it's the best place to work and you are lucky to be there, for awhile, but when the blook is off the rose, watch out.
