Pros

Met a lot of smart people in the beginning, learned a lot about the industry (mobile web sites) as it was relevant when I started in 2012. Learned to thrive under pressure with a large client base and at the time under great leaders (Client Services management team) as well. Made some great friends, had some good parties.

Cons

Made to feel undeserving when asking for a raise or requesting a meeting to discuss the possibility of a raise. The hush hush mentality of "upper management" is concerning for not only the direction of the company but the value of the employees. Employee morale has turned a bit depressing. No clear direction as to forward movement with the company. ** Note to current employees, if you plan to leave for another opportunity, and have worked through the quarter, rightfully earning your bonus... let it be known that if you are not employed the day the check comes to you will NOT get your bonus! i.e. When your final check comes after you have left you will receive your salary payment, but not the bonus.

Pros

The organizational culture is exceptional—the Head of Human Resources genuinely cares about employees, and the VP of Sales stands out as one of the most honest and thoughtful leaders I've encountered. The company strikes a great balance in size: it's small enough that leadership in Marketing, Finance, and Legal are consistently accessible via email, yet large enough that someone is always available to handle urgent issues across time zones. Even though the organization operates fully remotely, teamwork is seamless, and unnecessary meetings are minimized, making work efficient and focused. Senior management is experienced, but also young enough to be trusted with navigating the rapid changes coming to technology in the next five years.

Cons

The organization strongly prioritizes efficiency, meaning company perks such as retreats, swag, and merchandise are minimal. Because the team is highly skilled, new hires must be prepared to hit the ground running to succeed. Additionally, the relatively flat, egalitarian structure might not appeal to individuals accustomed to the hierarchical ranking systems common at FAANG companies.
