Pros

Still some good, kind, and fun people here... but not for long.

Cons

This organization took a disgusting turn in 2020. It went from an exciting, energized environment typical of a small tech company to what is now the most unprofessional, inhuman work environment I've ever experienced. If you aren't a white "yes" man, I'd advise you not to work for ECM. Misogynistic "boys' club"; white male CEO appointed in 2020 by a micromanaging VC full of more white males. CEO is passive agressive and unable to have a direct conversation, aside from when he's complaining about and badmouthing employees to their peers. Too many meetings that include too many upper management/senior level employees rather than the experts on the topic. There's a lot of talk about doing things without the input from those who do them. Meetings to plan for meetings while minimal progress is ever made. Salaries are far below market value, especially if you aren't a white male. Merit increases, bonuses, and opportunities for career advancement are disproportionately awarded to white men. Hyper-focused on meaningles SEO metrics and growth hacking rather than providing a great product to their customers. Project objectives and goals are not set up front, often inefficient and mismanaged so weeks or months of hard work ends up being thrown out. They've lost countless high-caliber employees because executives refuse to listen to honest, productive feedback nor will they take action to correct patterns of poor performance and behavior. Poor benefits.

Pros

The job is remote, which is really the only nice thing I have to say about the experience.

Cons

Roles/responsibilities constantly changing. A lot of wasted time in meetings. End up doing a lot of management work for them. Poor communication. In all the experience was all over the place, the role kept changing, consistently asked to do things not specified in the job description or that I had been hired for. Very unorganized. Bad follow-through on compensating me for extra work. It took months to get paid for additional work I had been asked to do. Even then the pay was not what had been promised. Management is all over the place, very poor and unprofessional work experience. When wanting to take time off, I had to give reasons why and plead my case as to why it was important. If you expect a remote job in which you have your responsibilities and you can clock in and work, and then work is done at the end of the shift, this is not that role. Management is far too intermingled in your personal lives, but in a manipulative way, to where they can put more responsibility on you. Compensation for the role is very low. I started through a temp agency and was promised I could renegotiate my salary if/when taken on full-time. Then was stonewalled when the time came, and given the run around of excuses. There is no opportunity for advancement. I took this job while a student, and it primarily served its purpose, other than making barely above minimum wage in my market. I would avoid it unless you really want a primarily remote-based work environment, with that being the only positive.
