Pros

Culture. Great people working in the trenches with you. Health insurance and 401k. Company parties and general workplace activity is high. Overall, if you're looking for a place that is similar to a college club, lots of get-togethers and nice people, then this is your place. A decent number of people in leadership are women, although I didn't see that this helped women who were at the bottom of the company much. No mentorship, no particular focus on equal pay, etc.

Cons

Pay is low. VERY low diversity. No focus on personal growth or challenge. If you're looking to grow your skills, improve yourself, or in general progress your career at all (not looking for a ladder, just general life advancement) this is NOT, I repeat, NOT the place for you. It is generally discouraged and considered a 'liability' if someone wants to be challenged in their career. It was never very clear from quarter to quarter if we were doing well or not. Numbers were never hit, and it never seemed like the rate of hiring met the actual needs of the company. They would rather hire new (cheap) talent than develop the talent and pay them better. It was a tale of two companies. Some were lead by experienced professionals and worked well as a team. Others were more interested in making sure everyone was at the next party or that their desk has been decorated.

Pros

Decent benefits, unlimited PTO. Talented and resilient people

Cons

Insecure leadership. Their business strategy does not give a strong sense of stability or solid direction. Their indecisiveness trickles down to direct managers, who are often hesitant to make decisions and quick to point fingers at their team members if things go wrong. In the beginning of the year there may be an idea of the direction, but later in the year priorities often shift in a reactive way. You can imagine the pressure this creates for employees who work hard to make initiatives succeed, only to find out the focus is changing again and they might get laid off as a result. It can feel like their business approach is to “throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks” repeatedly, and it seems like the company has been operating this way for several years. There are also many long-tenured employees who often default to “this is the way we do things,” even if it’s outdated, which can make it difficult and tedious to push for improvements. A lot of fresh, talented people end up leaving soon, probably because the company is too set in its own ways, fostering a culture that feels closed-off, cautious, and slow to innovate due to lack of strategic planning and low morale from repeated layoffs.
