      Pros

      People that work at Article are amazing, great salary

      Cons

      SL are terrible and they have no idea of what they are doing most of the time, They just did 2 layoffs in 1,5 years. They hired a lot of remote employees then a year later, they move everyone back to office 3x a week. When asked why they thing work in the office is better, they say they dont have an answer..

      Pros

      Dog-friendly office. In-office coffee and snacks. Beautiful, bright office. Hybrid work. Great, friendly co-workers. Amazing products.

      Cons

      Poor pay, re-occurring layoffs. No sense of job security. Disorganized. Non-stable work environment. Customer service agents went from being friendly and approachable, to scripted and robotic.

      Boom to Bust

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good relationships built over the years with former colleagues.

      Cons

      Went one of the best companies to work with to literally dumpster fire in few years. While I have deepest respect for Aamir and the other SLTs, but overall my Function was mismanaged, overburdened and to be honest just downright run by a Biased Manager who was busy trying to look good rather than helping uplift his employees. Over 3 years I worked here and never felt like I was acknowledged, listened to and was constantly bullied. I gave up and quit, I could not deal with so much toxicity being treated like subhuman. Favouritism is very rampant and visible, and as a POC it was clear that their values towards being diversity inclusive is all hogwash. Again the SLT have deepest respect and still believe but the mid level management needs a lot of work, training and coaching on how to treat their employees. I am currently seeking rigorous mental health therapy for the way I was treated and really wanted to sue the company for making my existence in the last 3 years miserable but out of respect for Aamir and some other great SLTs I chose not to. I regret spending so much time thinking that if only I work I will grow here, nope all I got was disrespect, micro management and just being treated like I am no one and not important.

      I want to thank you for taking time to share this feedback. I am both saddened and surprised to hear about your experience, as it’s misaligned with the culture and values we strive for at Article. I'd like to learn more, as without knowing where you specifically worked within the organization, it’s hard for our People & Culture teams to take action. If you feel comfortable, I'd like to invite you to reach out to me to have a confidential conversation. - Jennifer Mcmillan, Director, People & Culture
