Pros

I genuinely believe I work for the best company I could've found. There are so many intelligent people all striving to be their best -- it's an awesome environment to be in. This company is inclusive, takes care to allow for all kinds of perspectives, and is genuinely supportive. I trust my coworkers with things I don't tell my only family in some respects. I am also immensely proud of the company's leadership. Every decision made at the top is done with a 5-, 10-, and 20-year mission in mind. It's exhilarating to see new acquisitions and team growth to support the things we want to see happen in the short-term and long-term. I am encouraged to be myself, to be vulnerable, and to come to work with the goal of bettering my coworkers and peers. It's a ton of fun, and I am very happy.

Cons

There is a disconnect between those that are responsible for making high-level strategy decisions for internal process and those that manage teams directly. We are often left with a lot of work and no one else who can do it, which means we're left with the choice to work 10-hour days, ignore customers, or pass the buck to someone else. We are improving, absolutely, but we've lost a lot of good people on teams who couldn't handle the workload and the pressure to perform. We're keeping people who can handle immense amounts of negative pressure and not get beaten down, and we seem to be prioritizing emotional stamina over aptitude/intelligence.

Pros

The people. My peers in marketing are experienced, fun, and whip-smart. Colleagues, even those long gone, have continued to be supportive of one another in ways I've not seen at other companies. The networking is amazing. Although it may also be trauma bonding.

Cons

Marketing is always the scapegoat here and will always get hit hard when there are layoffs. In early summer 2025 they laid off nearly the entire product marketing team - from 26 people to 2- and "replaced" them with AI. Morale never recovered, the messaging has never been clearly communicated since then, and the worst part is CEO Henry Schuck went on a podcast to brag about it. Talk about out of touch. In the entire time I worked there, marketing leadership was sorely lacking. There has never been clear direction. This is still a problem with the new CMO, who is both heavily involved at a micro level and yet opaque about important things the whole department should know. And now the constant trimmings... Er, layoffs... no -- "exits" -- have gotten even more extreme. We're just wholesale replacing standard, strategic marketing positions and even teams with agencies. Which is quite a look for a billion dollar company. It might be worth it to work here for 6 months or a year if you can manage for the experience and connections, but the constant strategic switch-ups and looming inevitability of layoffs will wear you down. And soon you'll be looking for an escape route so you can say "you can't lay me off, I quit."
