Company on its last legs undergoing a mass employee exodus.
Pros
Game theory says that signaling has to be expensive in order to be honest. Glassdoor ain't that. Take a look at the turnover rates on the prominent career-oriented social media platform to see how long folks at ECM last; or rather don't. Recently re-introduced a 401k match .
Cons
Passive aggressive CEO who has no regard for cultivating a positive company culture. From the top, the culture is very combative. He emails out weekly homiletics across the company often launching on digressions lamenting employee "passive aggression" or other personal spats. Overwhelmingly male workplace where female ideas are either ignored, shot down, or taken and repackaged by men and only then celebrated. Ladies, expect to suffer things such as forceful language from heated men, questions as to why you aren't smiling more, perhaps getting referred to as "young lady", on top of much other colorful language and behavior that is not acceptable a modern work environment. Depending on where you are in your career, if you are able to find some male minders to take you on, you may be lucky enough to be shielded from the worst of it. Next to no educational resources for employee self improvement. The $1000 that does exist and is mired in red tape. I've never seen management so unwilling to invest and level up their employees. People work there for years with zero mobility. HR and payroll are outsourced to the VC who owns ECM and the two obviously do not communicate. Be on the look out for paycheck problems and monitor you paystubs. Frequent churn at such a small company means lots of company pivots, missed deadlines, and an unclear product/ company vision. Top management does not use the product themselves. It's obvious many have never even bothered logging in to the platform. Documentation requirements are asymmetrically enforced. If you are not in management's favor, expect to spend days writing drawn out documentation. If you are, little or none is required. It's mostly used as a cudgel.
