Really enthused to start, but quickly realized the organization can not deliver on projects

Pros

everybody out the door by 5pm very low pressure - 0 urgency to get anything done on time great location and comfortable office people and personalities are generally agreeable and entirely unremarkable

Cons

Management spends months talking about product roadmaps but not even the simplest projects get done. The site looks and works exactly the same as it did 4-5 years ago Co-workers are unmotivated - there are several people who have been there 7+ years with no promotions and no aspirations to go beyond their current roles and responsibilities The peer review seems more like an opportunity to backstab co-workers than provide constructive well-rounded criticism. as a previous reviewer mentioned, employees often 'get disappeared' and are simply never seen again.

Pros

- making and selling great products - people workig there feel very passionate about creating new digital media - cool and relaxed atmosphere - not too many politics, even if the secret is to make key connections with people - not too many big egos - variety and work is far from monotonous

Cons

- restructures are frequent as the industry is evolving quickly and sometimes unpredictably - tough competition -incertain teams there's no much career opportunities as people tend to stay a very long time - long time needed to understand the business at the start - salaries are not as high as in similar roles in other industries
