Pros

Salary, health benefits, commuter benefits, catered lunches on Fridays, flexible WFH policy, lots of snacks, annual bonus program, educational reimbursement program. The benefits were probably the best of any company I've worked for.

Cons

-The BI Team were amazing to work with but a small team for a large company, so did not get as much support in that area as necessary for success in my role. Not their fault at all! They had to prioritize their workloads, but having more dedicated BI resources would have been a game-changer. -In my department, my manager was great as were a few of my co-workers, but overall the culture was pretty unhealthy in my department. Most of the people on my team were vehemently opposed to diversity of thought. There was a lot of unnecessary hostility and weird attempts at controlling and micro-managing from people who weren't even my manager. -Didn't feel empowered to own my role and make an impact. Everything had to go through layers of approval that made no sense -- needing approval to perform the functions of my job from people who were had no experience with my role and were not at all subject matter experts in my field.

As it sounds like you are no longer with the company, it's hard to see what time frame you are referring to. We do hope that you were able to bring up these concerns with your manager or someone from the People Team who are always available to assist you in navigating any difficulty. This past year has been impactful for Leaf Group - creating a stronger community while working remotely, no layoffs during the pandemic, and implementing DEI as an official department have all been achievements we are quite proud of.
