Pros

Game theory says that signaling has to be expensive in order to be honest. Glassdoor ain't that. Take a look at the turnover rates on the prominent career-oriented social media platform to see how long folks at ECM last; or rather don't. Recently re-introduced a 401k match .

Cons

Passive aggressive CEO who has no regard for cultivating a positive company culture. From the top, the culture is very combative. He emails out weekly homiletics across the company often launching on digressions lamenting employee "passive aggression" or other personal spats. Overwhelmingly male workplace where female ideas are either ignored, shot down, or taken and repackaged by men and only then celebrated. Ladies, expect to suffer things such as forceful language from heated men, questions as to why you aren't smiling more, perhaps getting referred to as "young lady", on top of much other colorful language and behavior that is not acceptable a modern work environment. Depending on where you are in your career, if you are able to find some male minders to take you on, you may be lucky enough to be shielded from the worst of it. Next to no educational resources for employee self improvement. The $1000 that does exist and is mired in red tape. I've never seen management so unwilling to invest and level up their employees. People work there for years with zero mobility. HR and payroll are outsourced to the VC who owns ECM and the two obviously do not communicate. Be on the look out for paycheck problems and monitor you paystubs. Frequent churn at such a small company means lots of company pivots, missed deadlines, and an unclear product/ company vision. Top management does not use the product themselves. It's obvious many have never even bothered logging in to the platform. Documentation requirements are asymmetrically enforced. If you are not in management's favor, expect to spend days writing drawn out documentation. If you are, little or none is required. It's mostly used as a cudgel.

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.
