Pros

People are nice, act genuinely happy. Good people around you. Paid paid vacation was honestly the main pro there.

Cons

Broken promises. Delusional happiness. Politics everywhere. Cliquest environment company. Don't expect progression from within until they've spent every effort on exterior candidates, especially in sales. SDR, where do I begin: don't expect good Pay, don't expect a promotion, you literally have to beg and annoy. It literally is the arm pit of the company. Everyone talks in silence about all the changes that need to be made but afraid to speak up because absolutely nothing gets fixed, it's in one ear and out the other. Again delusional perceptions from those in management and higher ups that are not how the employees feel.

Pros

At the end of my tenure, I really have no pros.

Cons

I'm pretty sure I was "quietly laid off", in the effort of sneaky downsizing without having to actually do formal layoffs. This place was a godsend and a great place to work on my small independent team, and I did great. Then they did massive restructuring, added layers of hierarchy, added process, and basically just starting running a creative team like a line of factory workers. I had a horrible time with my manager on so many different levels, and felt validation when others would reflect the same, but I reflect what everyone else says - narcissistic, micro managing leadership that I now understand play manipulation games. I was put on a performance improvement plan and finally quit due to burnout, stress, and the dissolution of a role and a team that I had from before. They constantly push for solutions and deliverables, but I never really saw anything I delivered actually get treated and implemented with respect. Company policies and siloed team policies and procedures stymie actual effectiveness, and it seems like the leadership acts as your strict grade school teacher rather than having your back.
