Pros

2 slides, free food, decent benefits, and the team. It's an amazing group of people, incredibly smart and hardworking. Most people are friendly and always willing to help you however they can.

Cons

It's all fun & games when you start, from the outside it looks like this super fun place to work, hey look at us we're a hip company full of nurf guns and cool toys. Once the fog settles you see what it really is. It's an inorganic, forced culture, not something we created but something we are told to live & breath even when our own leaders don't know our core values. The CEO runs this ship, with incredibly limited experience as a leader and 0 people skills. Leadership has little to no actual leadership experience over all and has almost no say in anything that happens, unless it's in agreement with the CEO. When you start there are promises of growth but other than a few very isolated instances that's a blatant lie. Even if you are being told you are doing a great job and working towards a promotion or a new role they don't mean in this life time, they will string people along like that year after year until they leave. As long as you are quiet and don't speak out against things that you think are wrong, you can coast along in your role for eternity. But beware, a few comments stating you disagree with something or would like to make improvements somewhere (that CEO thinks doesn't need improving)l and you're next in line for a skills realignment or performance evaluation.

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.
