Pros

None. Not even the free membership makes up for the mental and physical deterioration this company and its leadership can bring into your life.

Cons

Lack of autonomy across the board. You’re not trusted to own your work, and everything is over-processed without actually being thought through. Leadership is easily the worst I’ve experienced. There is zero clarity, no real long-term strategy (despite the word being thrown around constantly), and decisions change at any moment. For context, there was a 2.5-hour marketing meeting in January focused on 2026 goals that hasn’t even been approved.... we are halfway into April now. You spend the majority of your time building decks. Sometimes up to 10 at once, only for them to disappear into a black hole with no follow-up, no decisions, and no acknowledgment. There’s also a very strange internal culture where people genuinely don’t seem to like or respect each other, which makes collaboration difficult and the overall environment uncomfortable.
