Pros

Good benefits, unlimited time off.

Cons

Shawn Riegsecker, the CEO, always would speak about how he takes care of his employees & it's all about their growth & being a good person. Yet, when times got tough he was VERY quick to let people go - right before the holidays. This makes him & Centro a bit untrustworthy if you ask me. Also, it takes years for employees to actually get promoted at the company. Don't believe all this hype about "hiring 100+ new employees in 2019." That may be true, but if the following year, times get tough, Shawn will be sure to let people go (before cutting upper management's salaries).

Pros

There’s an excellent work life balance. We receive perks such as reimbursement for fitness, education, and other expenses. Employees also have a 3 week paid sabbatical once every 4 years of employment.

Cons

Not all departments or groups receive the same recognition. Ad Operations often feels forgotten in the totem pole.

Pros

Great friendly company culture. People doing their best to take care of each other.

Cons

Unless it is not longer safe. Right now the company is still figuring out their product route.
