Great place for entry level workers to gain experience
Pros
- Very welcoming and diverse work environment - Does right by their workers as far as PTO, benefits and remote work - Manager provided a lot of autonomy and was easy to access - Will help you get certificates and education to further career goals if desired - Made great friends here before we went fully remote
Cons
- 5 years of loyalty still got me laid off - Sometimes too much autonomy and unclear guidance; often felt like I needed more structure and clear instructions - Salaries tend to be below local market rates (and they use their benefits package as the excuse for why, which does not even include IKEA stock for most roles) - Company frequently shifts directions without much reasoning (random re-brandings, huge new feature campaigns when old issues still aren't resolved) - Too focused on hyper growth and expansion while letting long term deficiencies in the core product linger
