Pros

Good benefits. Teammates are typically friendly and kind. Some managers are excellent and do their best to build stability and trust even though it’s a toxic work environment.

Cons

Dozens of micromanaging meetings per week, rampant burnout and understaffing. Lots of backstabbing, office politics, unconstructive “feedback”, and managers bickering for power and influence. Expectations for your job will change daily while tasks outside of your job description are piled on. One Director I worked with hadn’t taken time off in 3 years. If you aim for work-life balance, expect to get so far behind that you have anxiety attacks when you log in every Monday. It should also be noted that it’s a common practice for the CEO to send enraged emails to entire departments when a customer writes a single negative remark about Arlo on Twitter. This is the level of micromanaging you sign up for when you take a job here.

Pros

I’ve worked in marketing for about 15 years across a range of companies, and this was actually my first time taking on a contract role. I was a little hesitant at first, but Arlo consistently had such strong employee reviews that I decided to take the leap and I’m really glad I did. What’s stood out most to me is how collaborative the culture truly is. This is the most aligned organization I’ve ever worked in. People genuinely want to help, share context, and work together toward the same goal. There’s no sense of competition or silos just a shared commitment to delivering on Arlo’s customer promise. That kind of alignment may sound simple, but trust me, it’s rare. And it’s the single biggest reason my experience here has been so positive. Arlo feels like a place where people care about both the work and each other and it shows. I never thought I would get to experience that in my career, but I'm thankful I know what's possible.

Cons

Salary is a bit low for the industry, but peace of mind truly is priceless.
