Pros

Work-life balance. I’ve never seen people show up at 10 AM and leave at 3 PM daily.

Cons

Pay is under market rate. They like to compensate with shares over giving you market rate salary. Leadership is extremely confused within Marketing. Erratic decision making by the CMO and the managers who report into him are willing to throw you under the bus to keep him happy. I have never experienced blatant sexism in the workplace. If you’re a man, you’ll be ok here. Highly political environment. They will tell you they want to work together and progress the business, but if you want to make actual change- be careful. There’s no internal process and little interest to establish it. Leaves employees guessing. I’ve never worked at a company that was so siloed in terms of work priorities and communicate. No cross-collaboration and no one cares to make an effort. Biggest advice - stay away. CEO with an identify crisis and his leadership is even more lost.
