Pros

They are remote first with reasonable salary offerings.

Cons

The Christian element is long gone just in case anyone was concerned when reading prior reviews, so I don't think it's a fair criticism any longer. I only heard a comment during my first morning stand-up meeting about 'wait, what about prayer' and management squelched it immediately so they were at least recently out of that weirdness by the time I started. Other cons though: - Poorly adopted AGILE project management, but they adopt and experiment with new work models all the time so may no longer be relevant. - You can hear the Adderall in leadership during meetings. - I was hired to lead client facing meetings and form content marketing and SEO proposals. Within the first hour I came online as a new employee, I was bombarded with copywriting tasks you would expect from an Upwork hire. A Slack comment from management read 'his plate is open and ready for copy tasks.' - I was asked to deliver client SEO audits same-day and encouraged to just use ChatGPT to generate it, as the client won't look at the report anyway. - They win big client engagements and coast on passive relationships, which is a successful agency model so I do respect it. If you are interested in scaling that model alongside them there is a lot of great opportunity and do recommend them for it. They have rebranded as "Marketers on Demand" but might also shed that brand once it becomes a problem. - Health insurance is super rough but understandable from a small company.

Pros

Wouldn't recommend working here honestly

Cons

Management tries to squeeze as much work as possible out of everyone, no work-life balance, no empathy.
