Pros

The leadership team is very impressive... the product is interesting to learn about and easy to get excited about. The team is all very close and work can feel like home. Good health insurance. Unlimited time off. Autonomy in your role and lots of flexibility in how you choose to reach your goals. You can voice your opinion on any issue and someone will listen to you. Quick advancement. Never boring. Horizontal structure-- any level of employee can talk to the CEO or any VP about anything.

Cons

No overtime pay when working close to 80 hours a week. There is a major lack of communication between upper management, and this trickles down the entire office. Decisions are made without the proper employees there.. so you come to the office for someone else to let you know what they have already decided about your own job, which impacts your ability to meet your goals. No training for any full time employee, it's sink or swim. The environment is extremely unprofessional, including outside of work activities with drinking and partying that include all levels of management and employees. My coworkers would come to work under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, and even when brought to the attention of management, there were no consequences. One employee holds the job titles that should be held by 12 different people.

Pros

-The company is well positioned to own a unique space as an alternative customer acquisition channel, especially as brands look beyond traditional growth levers. -Director level employees and below really work well together and have created a unique culture -Working with new brands and existing clients gives you a unique opportunity to really learn and expand your network

Cons

-CEO struggles with interpersonal communication and emotional awareness, often leading with pressure rather than vision. -The CEO has churned through administrative support repeatedly, rarely taking accountability for the pattern. His approach shows a lack of self-reflection and makes it difficult to retain team members in support roles. -A single leadership hire has had an outsized negative impact, resulting in the loss of 6 employees through resignation and termination since January 1 2026. -The decision to flatten the org has effectively eliminated growth paths, negatively affecting morale and long-term engagement. -In all my time here, I never received a single performance review—leaving employees unsure of where they stand or how to grow. -A predominantly male leadership team gives off an “old boys’ club” vibe, and treatment of employees can feel uneven based on gender. -The head of the revenue team has chosen to flatten the organization, resulting in minimal one-on-one engagement, no KPI meetings, and no regular team touchbases. Most communication happens exclusively through Slack, highlighting a gap in experience leading the company’s largest and most impactful team. -Frequent sarcastic remarks reflect a leadership team that is often oblivious to employee experience and organizational issues. -CEO lacks understanding of team motivation, framing employees as “passengers” vs. “drivers” and suggesting getting rid of “passengers,” which comes across as bizarre and demoralizing. -In the last 18 months, the revenue team has seen significant turnover, with account managers and salespeople leaving at a rapid pace. This pattern suggests the issue lies with leadership and organizational approach, not the talent being hired. -The company is still trying to find its footing, frequently hiring from competitors to replace existing team members rather than focusing on improving the product and scaling effectively. Expansion into the UK and APAC feels premature, as the company hasn’t yet figured out how to fully own and scale in the US, resulting in a chaotic and immature environment.
