Pros

Good job for people out of college without experience. Remote work. Fun on boarding process. Good for people that like very fast paced projects. Good for people that want to learn about web production and marketing.

Cons

The company is in a constant rush to make money.. this creates a stressful environment for employees. They have been in business for more than a decade but they have never been able to really succeed outside of a small B2B market or get their act together. After all these years they are still trying to figure out how to run things properly. There are constant layoffs.. very cliquey and closed minded about new ideas. Everything has to be done their way or you are out. High pressure projects that are always on fire. You always feel like you could lose your job and that’s no way to live. Most of the leadership has no real experience and only cares to please the owners of the company. The office is the worse as all of the owners are in their offices with glass walls and are able to see your every movement. Pay is terrible and they mix sick time with pto. Benefits are below average and no bonuses. Just know they are in a constant rush to produce money for the owners so deadlines are unrealistically small. Most normal people wont last more than a few months . There is a constant fear that you will be fired at any time. Not a job for you if you are looking for stability. Since they fire everyone they don't like, they have to outsource most of their labor to Russia. The Russian developers can barely speak proper english so it makes it very hard to get anything done. They have timesheets that need to be filled up to quarter increments. It's incredibly stressful to be micromanaged to that level... and if there is no work for you.. they let you go. They are also new to the whole working remotely since Covid so they are not very good at life/work balance. Expect long late hours and early mornings. There is no respect for personal time outside of work. They also don't pay for extra time worked. Pms will message you at odd hours for status updates. There is also no career development unless you play hardcore office politics. People talk behind your back and HR loves the drama. They have the favorite employees that have been there forever. Somehow many of the leaders have been there for years without any real experience. So moving up in the company will be extremely hard.
