Pros
- They hire smart people. - The CEO is really wonderful. He's smart, inspiring, has a clear vision for the company, and is transparent with the teams. - Looks great on your resume. - Great product with big ambitions. - Lunch is brought in everyday. - Unlimited vacation time (although many people still work while on vacation).
Cons
The "culture" that they sell you in the interview process does not exist within the marketing department - I do think it is strong within other teams in the organization, particularly in engineering. In marketing, decisions come from the top down without clear context on goals, why decisions are made,and why certain things are deemed successful while others are not. Half of your job is socialization and seeking approvals with very little empowerment to drive things forward. Lots of bureaucracy and politics and different perspectives are not valued.
