Pros

Unlimited Vacation: although they made me feel guilty for taking it, gave me assignments while away and penalized me for not completing them while on vacation. Unlimited Work Remote: although they went back and forth and said it’s unlimited then told me I could only take one day per month, or week etc. so I ended up not working remote. Catered lunches on Friday

Cons

Let me start by saying that YOU SHOULD NOT WORK HERE. During my time at Mogul, I watched at least six employees come and go in less than five months. Two employees left within a month of starting because the environment is so toxic. I often saw VPs throw their teams under the bus to the CEO to save their own job. This personally happened to me several times. During my time at Mogul I was appalled at the amount of atrocities I witnessed and lies being told. Such as the CEO Tiffany Pham stating in several interviews that “no one has ever left our company.” As I have already mentioned, I personally witnessed six people quit after only several months of being with the company. Here’s proof: an interview in September 2018 with CNBC SQUAWKBOX where Tiffany says this although by then I had seen six people quit. Unfortunately I can’t place the link but you can easily find it on YouTube. Mogul is a supposed to be a female empowerment company but they actually treat male employees better than women. How you ask? I know for a fact that men were offered higher starting salaries then women EVEN when the women had more experience. Even worse? When Mogul let go of a male employee that had worked there for three months they offered him a severance package. When a female employee was let go in the same year she was told that severance was only offered to those that had worked with the company for at least six months. On four separate occasions I watched upper management use bully tactics to make employees cry and then watched those employees be insulted for crying. I watched as a female employee was fired for asking for a raise without warning. After so many employees quit, HR decided to work on culture and have one on one meetings with the remaining staff to find out how culture could be improved. The result? Two more employees were fired after being truthful and expressing issues with the company. Even the company info on Glassdoor is incorrect and misleading. During my time working with Mogul, our employee base peaked at 15 PEOPLE and yet Mogul lists that it has 1000-5000 employees. Read Tiffany’s book and she’ll mention office spaces around the world. Maybe Mogul had a cubicle somewhere but not the vast amount of offices and employees they’d like you to believe. If you want a look at “the team” currently at around 15 people, check out Mogul’s career page. There’s a huge difference between 15 and 1000. If Mogul is willing to mislead on something so fundamentally small and silly, just imagine the bigger deceptions. In conclusion, I seriously have never seen a greater poop show in my life (not sure if Glassdoor let’s you curse). During my time at Mogul I was given impossible goals in crazy time frames and was Slacked (messaged) as late as 3am and expected to answer. When I asked my manager, a VP, for her guidance regarding a task she replied, “figure it out yourself.” That in essence is the issue. Management doesn’t really like to manage (aka do their job) possibly because they are so inexperienced they don’t know how. Thankfully I did figure it out and the answer is simply DO NOT WORK HERE. Also let me please note that writing this review gave me no pleasure, but if I help one person realize that Mogul is not the right career move, then I feel like I have done the world a great favor.

Pros

You get to work in the Hearst building. The food is great and pretty cheap. But if that's your goal maybe try to get a job with Hearst not some shady startup.

Cons

1. It's mind-blowing that this company was able to con HearstLabs into investing. 2. There's a real issue with transparency and the fact that the CEO is publishing one garbage book after another truly shows you how far meritocracy will take you. 3. If you take this job, better believe that you will not be going anywhere in your career. 4. Many, many things (e.g., site traffic, female empowerment etc.) that Mogul claims to represent to the public are false and cannot possibly be backed up by hard evidence and as such the CEO feels the needs to tout her Ivy League background and her connects in the industry. I'd like to see where they land in 10 years. 5. Last bit of advice - check the Amazon for their book "You Are a Mogul". Anybody with half a mind will understand the reviews are fake or paid for. Better yet, visit their website and look at the posts - fake users, internal boosts. A Craigslist scammer might want to take a page out of their book. What they do is the equivalent of click farming.
