Good People but Disorganized

Pros

Amazing staff. Some of the sharpest and most independent colleagues I've ever had the privilege to work alongside.

Cons

I was hired with a distinct title and set of responsibilities, but was given a totally different job / title after a department overhaul. It's hugely disappointing. Overall, there is poor communication, organization and morale.

Pros

-Your lifestyle is fun- you drink often and a lot for free, you rub shoulders with important people, and you are able to continue the fratty lifestyle beyond college -Some of the people that work here are gems. Really interesting, smart, wonderful colleagues. -Looks good on you resume, especially with the recent press the company has gotten.

Cons

-If you are not willing to take WeWork on as your religion, your social life, your profession, your everyday philosophy, then stay away. 12 hour work days, weekends on call, constant changes in job description that are expected to be swallowed without comment. -The politics. Nepotism is rampant and shocking management-styles and behaviors are accepted because of it. I would go as far to call it "cultish". If you're in, you're in, and if you're out you will still work endlessly with little to no acknowledgement or benefit. -"Meetings" are actually a chance for the executive team to tout egos and perform. As an employee, you smile and clap, but don't dare speak up. -Money is the key. If you can make the company lots of money, to the point where you might feel like you are selling a product that doesn't deliver, you will do fine. If not, you will get low-ratings and no bonus, even if you are doing the job you thought you had signed up for.

Not great

Pros

--Your co-workers are probably smart, talented, fun, and interesting people. Being around them is great. --You'll wear a lot of hats so you'll learn a lot --Parties all the time

Cons

--Management doesn't care. They'll tell you they do, but will then turn around and demand that you work constantly. --Work is non-stop (10-12 hours a day plus email, calls, texts on off hours, including weekends). --Everyone is underpaid and overworked. Extremely high turn over. --Crazy unrealistic expectations and arbitrary deadlines for work --Not a lot of room for growth --incredible nepotism --No 401k, no HR department, minimal vacation/sick days, minimal holidays, little flexibility to work from home --No one in upper management is willing to stand up to the CEO, and lower-level employees suffer because of it
