Pros

Some good people (who will eventually leave)

Cons

All of the consistent non 5 star comments take the words from my mouth. Please - if you are worth your salt - don’t waste your time here- go somewhere you can make an impact or actually remain relevant. This places markets everything very well including the culture & systems etc ... none of it is ok - the excuse is “we’ve grown so quickly it’s been hard to keep up”. Absolutely untrue - if they wanted to manage change they would - they are not. Even the new management they are bringing in from trusted CPG’s, heads are spinning & they can’t make a dent & so the downward spiral continues. This place is a joke - you will spend your day chasing your tail & they like it this way as no one knows what they are doing & the people who do are mistreated - overworked & eventually leave. Any 5 star reviews you will see are by employees under a year - HR asks the employees to rate the company positively just as it does to vote for their toys- it’s somewhat mandatory- it’s sad - you’d almost wish they’d put the same effort into training & change management. Instead of blowing smoke & mirrors.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
