An oasis among a bay area full of bro-culture
Pros
A lot of talented people work at Madison Reed. The company culture is great, they focus on building real leaders and not so much about embracing those who just whine. They also have the best customer service that I have ever experienced and witnessed. They truly care about the customer and that shows in the decisions that get made at the company. Very open to new ideas and embracing the culture of making a decision, even if it was a mistake and learning from it.
Cons
Communication is always something that is difficult to master with diverse communities of people, with diverse backgrounds. It's not that people don't trust each other, but it's more of, being polite, correct and not wanting to step on anyones toes. I am sure folks are receptive to feedback, but there is a fear of just displeasing someone, to the extent that important feedback about ideas or peers is sometimes lost in the cloud of being nice.
