Pros
- Interesting and modern tech stack at least on platform teams - Learn how to solve problems to do with scale - On the engineering ground teams are great to work with - Great degree of experience across team mates, although the highly skilled ones are leaving in droves
Cons
Looking back at reviews from years ago you can clearly see how far the company has fallen. CM was heralded as a cultural peer to the likes of Atlassian and Canva in the 2010s but then it evidently stopped growing and competitors put up a good fight. The decline is very clear with 'silent' layoffs of people with no redundancy pay. They will make it seem like a performance issue but when multiple people of the same team are let go the same way there is no chance of performance being a factor. Leadership brags about how well the company is doing but the moves being made suggest otherwise. On the ground teams are run well but leadership and executive management clearly don't have a strategy to survive in this crowded marketplace. The future of Campaign Monitor and Marigold by extension is bleak and I would suggest anyone with an offer to avoid with a ten foot pole. It had potential in the 2010s but I don't see them surviving the 2020s
