Great Place, Career Growth Questionable
Pros
Everyone in the company is focused on the same goal: provide great experiences for the customers. While the execution of that goal may vary, there is more interdepartmental communication at AWeber than I've seen at any other company I've worked for. Teams are rarely "siloed" and it's a great place to learn from your coworkers. The benefits are awesome, 100% company paid health premium + 50% of deductible covered for both individuals and families through an HSA contribution. Free chef-prepared lunches everyday and flexible & empathetic towards personal situations as they come up.
Cons
Advancement opportunities are frustratingly inconsistent. While promotions are not unheard of, they were for me. The company ethos is "We're not going to give you a promotion, you need to earn a promotion. Do the job you're looking to get." Ok, no problem, but if I take on more responsibility and build a case behind how a change in structure can help me better accomplish my work, I would expect some action behind that plan. Unfortunately, we didn't see eye to eye on what promotion looked like, or the timeline behind it, so when a new opportunity presented itself, it made it hard to choose to stay.
