Just the worst.

Pros

Still some good, kind, and fun people here... but not for long.

Cons

This organization took a disgusting turn in 2020. It went from an exciting, energized environment typical of a small tech company to what is now the most unprofessional, inhuman work environment I've ever experienced. If you aren't a white "yes" man, I'd advise you not to work for ECM. Misogynistic "boys' club"; white male CEO appointed in 2020 by a micromanaging VC full of more white males. CEO is passive agressive and unable to have a direct conversation, aside from when he's complaining about and badmouthing employees to their peers. Too many meetings that include too many upper management/senior level employees rather than the experts on the topic. There's a lot of talk about doing things without the input from those who do them. Meetings to plan for meetings while minimal progress is ever made. Salaries are far below market value, especially if you aren't a white male. Merit increases, bonuses, and opportunities for career advancement are disproportionately awarded to white men. Hyper-focused on meaningles SEO metrics and growth hacking rather than providing a great product to their customers. Project objectives and goals are not set up front, often inefficient and mismanaged so weeks or months of hard work ends up being thrown out. They've lost countless high-caliber employees because executives refuse to listen to honest, productive feedback nor will they take action to correct patterns of poor performance and behavior. Poor benefits.

Pros

- The CEO, investors, and leadership team are all top notch. Couldn't ask for a better foundation to build off of. - The business serves a huge market and has few legitimate competitors, because there are high barriers to entry. Translation - lots of potential. - Customers love the product. Considering the product itself was completely neglected for the better part of a decade, there are thousands of companies large and small that swear by Earth Class Mail. - You can have a meaningful impact on the business. - Work/life balance is a priority. - Compensation and benefits are very competitive. P.S. The company is internet-famous, just search for "Startup Junkies"...

Cons

- A lot of baggage from a mis-managed past that we still need to unpack, which presents challenges at times. But, if you like a challenging and dynamic work environment, this is barely a con.
