      Pros

      - Remote work at a distributed company - The people who stick around long enough seem to be rewarded for their efforts

      Cons

      - just another wordpress shop under it all - toxic grind culture (you have to strictly track 40 hrs of actual work a week real-time, not including lunch, breaks, etc.) - "radical candor" is a one way street - you have to build ugly, boring news websites If you do not find success at Alley, they will shrug it off and attribute it to you not being able to handle the agency grind, or say that you can't handle the autonomy of remote work, etc.

      Pros

      Alley is made up of smart, driven, and caring people. It makes for a collaborative and supportive environment where I can be my true self at work and grow professionally without fear of judgement. Im given autonomy and compassion every day. My work is valued. The people rock.

      Cons

      I wish I got to see the people I work with more frequently

      Pros

      Talented, kind, and humorous co-workers.

      Cons

      Severe lack of leadership ruins any potential this company might have. As an employee you'll either receive no direction or micromanagement depending which team/partner(s) you end up working with. Lots of favoritism. Watched several coworkers get forced out for unclear reasons. Work-life balance will be impossible if you can't establish boundaries on your own. I think I had a generally mild experience at Alley compared to many others, but still ended up burning out by the time I left.
