Pros

-great benefits -competitive pay -growth opportunities -smart, hard-working team -remote

Cons

-Taking some sort of odd pride in the lack of work/life balance and chalking it up to “performance-driven culture” or “that’s just agency life”. A comment was made by the CEO that no one should work over 50 hours; I’ll call out that this does not include leaders. -Relatively conservative leaders so if you are looking for a place of ethnic diversity and women in leadership, probably not for you. A lot of people refer to it as “the boys club”- they’re not wrong. -Beware of the old saying “if they will talk poorly about others to you, they will talk poorly of you to others” and that starts at the top.

Thank you so much for your feedback, it's Garrett. It's always tough to get reviews like this and I do not believe they accurately depict our organization; however, I hear you and nobody is working harder to make this the best company in the world for it's team. I don't know who you are, but if we worked together for 4+ years, thank you for your hard work and belief. I appreciate you and we will keep pushing :)
