Pros

Somehow able to attract talented people, but they never make it to upper management.

Cons

CEO and upper management change direction so often (sometimes multiple times in the same day), nothing is ever done well or with any sort of wisdom. Expect bullying and fowl language from your boss alongside with a big heap of belittlement for any suggestion you make. In their eyes, any sort of planning or communication just slows things down.

I take pride in the fact that many of our upper management here started off in entry level roles - our VP of Sales started off as a researcher, our VP of Researcher started off as a researcher as did all of our Directors and Senior Managers of Research, our VP and Chief of Staff of Marketing started off as an Event Marketing Manager, our Director of Marketing started off as an SEM manager, our Chief Revenue Officer started as an entry level sales rep (his first job out of college), our VP of Customer Success started off as an entry level sales person, and our VP of HR and Operations started as a researcher. It's a mischaracterization to say that talented people don't become part of upper management - in fact, talented people getting promoted INTO upper management is a hallmark of our company.

Pros

Great place to work with a lot of forward thinking leaders to learn from. Really ahead of other companies on implementing AI in the business. Moves much faster with less bureaucracy than other similarly sized companies

Cons

Difficult macro environment for the company and industry

Pros

Good pay, good benefits and great office.

Cons

Poor hiring decisions, recent layoffs eliminated mostly remote employees because they are prioritizing in office employees, especially with recent investment in office. RIF was not at all based on performance which meant that some in office employees who don't know what they are doing got to keep their job. You have to suck up to management to get promoted and a lot of really good reps leave as a result of constant micro-management.
