Pros

Employees below director level are amazing in marketing. They are so kind and people genuinely are nice to each other. Not sure how long these folks will stay. Stock is up so probably vesting until they can no longer tolerate the toxic personalities in the marketing org. CMO is genuinely kind but marketing department doesn't get the respect it deserves.

Cons

In the marketing org at the supervisor level there are good supervisors and then there are supervisors who are verbally abusive, tear down direct reports, speak down to any employee junior to them. These types of managers are deserving of being fired, everywhere else but at Chegg apparently. Despite employee complaints these folks are just not held accountable. They are excused for being "difficult personalities". The marketing org culture has been greatly impacted. What used to be a good work environment is now a nightmare. The market is up, go find a job where managers actually treat you with respect and like you are a human being. If you are interviewing dig deep to make sure you manager is a good one. Here the manager makes or breaks your experience. After all this you are still considering working here note, depending on the supervisor you report to career growth is limited - nothing you do will be good enough for a promotion and you will be told continuously at every checkin just so you don't forget.
