Pros

They care about employees as people, not just part of a balance sheet. They are transparent when something isn't working and how they are going to fix it. People care about their work and their colleagues. People are respectful of one another. I've also had many meetings with our CEO, CTO, CMO, COO, and none of them acted too busy to meet with me even though I am not an executive. They're very present and engaged no matter what your title is.

Cons

As it's gotten bigger, it has gotten more bureaucratic in terms of the pace of decision-making and the hoops you have to go through to get something done. The pace is still often quite high in terms of projects and deadlines, though. That can be good and bad. It's not boring since it's a high pace, but can be hard to meet the demands of a high-pace environment when there's more hoops to jump through than before, when the company was smaller.

Thanks for your review and your callout that you feel important to our executive team--our team members really matter, so I'm delighted to hear that comes through. We just extended parental leave two years ago, so not sure that's something we'll revisit soon, but it's good feedback to have, so thanks for sharing your push on that and on bureaucracy--feedback is always welcome here. Thanks for helping our marketing team grow and for taking the time to write this! -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
