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.

Pros

AWeber is a great company to work for, and consistently has been for many years. While being at AWeber, you get to work with awesome technologies and serve really cool customers. The team dynamic at AWeber is top tier, and communication between team members is ever present. There is always information sharing, internal documentation to reference, and avenues to learn/stay in the know. This commitment to public facing communication allows team members to know what's upcoming, know what's expected of them, ask questions, posit suggestions/ideas, and appropriately prepare and plan. At AWeber, everyone has a voice, and their voice matters. Being at the company each day feels less like a job and more of an opportunity to accomplish something great.

Cons

At the company, we all actively work to make AWeber better for today, tomorrow, and the future. If you are someone who prefers to silo information and hide from your team, working at AWeber would likely not be a good fit for you.
