Pros

Generally a fun, positive atmosphere, challenging and interesting work, great people. Beautiful building with a stocked kitchen, locker rooms and showers, central location is almost perfect, and many people bring their dogs to work every day.

Cons

During my tenure at Article it seemed that the best way for some frontline people to get along was to try to be invisible to upper management as much as possible. I left after an extremely unpleasant situation orchestrated between the CEO and ops manager. Afterward my departure I got in contact with two other former Particle who weren’t surprised to hear about my experience If you join up with Article, just try to not be disappointed if there’s a disconnect between the encouraging words that are said in the Town Hall meetings compared to how you might be treated in a one-on-one situation. Take my review with a grain of salt if you will- everyone has their own perspective. Everyone’s experience will be different, and *everyone* has their strengths and weaknesses, myself included - don't think this review is a case of "everyone is wrong but me". But be skeptical of other reviews where the writers sound like they found religion when Article hired them. Especially current employees, since Article management reads Glass Door and Indeed reviews very closely, and even encourages current employees to write positive reviews and then checks the results.
