Pros

Flexible working, generally friendly teams, fair amount of freedom and autonomy.

Cons

Almost caricature-like overly enthusiastic culture filled with clapping for 'wins' that in other organisations would be considered BAU. The CEO loves to put on a show. Underneath this layer of toxic positivity is a deeply dysfunctional culture filled with badly defined roles, lack of process or structure and individuals who lack skills or motivation. There's limited communication and follow through at all levels. Turnover is high and hiring processes not robust enough to build cohesive high-performing teams. The leadership team lacks transparency and problems are brushed under the carpet.

Pros

The office is nice and there's great food options nearby. Work from home was nice. Enthusiastic employees and the people in the office are generally nice. Alcohol on Thursdays!

Cons

Pointless meetings, especially ones that occur right at 8am (which was when interns were expected to arrive). Generally very dull with menial tasks. The head of the marketing team showed no interest in communicating with the interns, rarely engaged and out of touch. Constantly played music the entire duration of the shift. No compensation and poor benefits.
