Pros

You get to work with the few good people left, some exciting events, and free lunch sometimes. That’s it unfortunately.

Cons

- Poor Upper Management - New Managing Director doesn’t understand how to effectively connect and manage his team. In it for his own personal advancement and ego. - Since the company has had new ownership it has gone downhill fast. All roles are changed, less pay, less time off, just awful. - Culture that was once good is now absent. Place is a disaster, and not the ideal work environment. Toxic at best. - Prices on products continue to increase and so do the sales targets, yet commission structure is worse and it’s counterproductive - HR won’t have your back - Much more to mention...

Pros

The brand is amazing and you can see remnants of fun that used to make this place unique like the beer fridge and minimal hierarchy. They have decent time off when shutdowns are included.

Cons

The current CEO waffles between crying in town halls to screaming at teams in morning stand up meetings then sending emails about how various people and teams are the best she has ever worked with. You never know which mood you will get. Sales goals are not achievable and layoffs are frequent. Long-time employees avoid promotion because they want to survive so they have to keep bringing in outside management and then they either fire them or they leave often in under a year.
