Pros

Great overall company culture, good benefits, incredible coworkers, and company values work-life balance.

Cons

Your experience at the company truly depends on which team you're on, especially if you're on a team like Marketing. The politics within the department are so incredibly visible that it has completely ruined morale and trust. You think you're hired to do your job because you have experience and actually know what you're doing, but in reality, your leader doesn't know how to listen or support you, and they only protect themselves. Communication and transparency are TERRIBLE as the C-Leader is attending 0 meetings, doesn't participate in anything, and rarely shares important updates yet demands immediate time and energy from individuals/MLT for projects and tasks that aren't a priority or don't even make sense. MLT creates more stress and pressure on the rest of the team as they don't know how to prioritize, work together, or communicate effectively for alignment. Also, how does it make sense that some leaders who have high turnover on their teams continue to get more positions/budget yet have 0 time and bandwidth to support their own members who are already struggling? Until the leadership dynamic here changes, I would stay away.
