Pros

-Very friendly, fun coworkers -Cool office with endless snacks -A lot of flexibility working from home and taking time off, the work/life balance is the greatest perk of this place and they're serious about it

Cons

The company boasts that they're transparent and spent all of Covid talking about goals they wanted everyone to hit in order for us to stay afloat. Goals were hit despite extraordinary measures, everyone worked themselves to the bone to keep Jellyvision alive during a pandemic, and then they did a secret layoff without telling the company. When it came out that the layoff occurred (only because a handful of brave employees spoke out about it), they said it was "performance based," which absolutely was not the case. This came after a layoff the year before that was also handled brutally, and which was promised never to happen again. At the end of the day, while they pose themselves as "different" and "the cool ones," they're just another corporation working their employees until they deem them unnecessary. Everyone understands the consequences of Covid, and layoffs may have been imminent, but they purposefully let employees work for them through the busy season while CONSTANTLY reassuring everyone their jobs were safe and then cut those employees with little thanks and assured them they would be "fine" with a 2 weeks notice in the middle of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Truly comical cutting people's health insurance while your mission is getting people insurance. Enter at your own risk.

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 There are also many long-tenured employees who often default to “this is the way we do things,” even if it’s outdated, which can make it difficult and tedious to push for improvements.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.
