Pros

-The opportunity to drive real, substantive change is greater than any other company I've worked for. -It is not bureaucratic - you have a good idea with the data to back it up? It will be challenged and poked but if you can support your recommendation, it will get implemented. Quickly. -Management has hired top talent from diverse backgrounds. Classic CPG, digital agencies, retail. The commitment to staff-up with great people is real. -Incredibly nimble. Leadership says "We reserve the right to get smarter". If new data comes in that warrants different action, the company pivots. -Consumer-focused. Everything starts with the consumer and doing what is right for her/him. Decisions have never been made for shareholders or to make a quarter or fiscal year. It's a long-term view only with the consumer in mind

Cons

-It can seem devoid of strategy (in some cases, that's not true - it's just that the strategy hasn't been deployed as broadly and clearly as it could have been)

Pros

Impactful work from Day 1 and a great learning experience

Cons

If you are not in the headquarter office, you may miss out on some networking opportunities but the early talent team do their best in providing as many opportunities as possible.

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
