Great coworkers bad management and communication
Pros
Your coworkers are great and the culture can be good in the beginning especially if you’re coming there right out of college. You learn a lot as long as you’re willing to put in the time and effort. Pretty laid back working environment for the most part.
Cons
Management (specifically leaders of marketing and SaaS departments) are only concerned about chasing the next sale. Everything stays very high level and decisions are made without communicating with any of the employees I.e. the “doers” the people that make everything work and not just sell stuff and come up with random big ideas. Basically when they say “jump” you’re supposed to ask “how high?” And it made for an environment of anxiety and distrust. It’s also a smaller company - essentially family owned and operated. Nepotism is 100% real here. You’re either family or very well liked by the family if you want to continue to move up. I also found that specifically the leader of SaaS was very unstable and confrontational - drinking on the job, doing drugs, emotionally driven, etc. there was no clear line between work and play which made for a very unprofessional environment.
