Pros
New office is nice. Some people are great and work really hard! CMO is great and should be a model of how things should be done.
Cons
Social Tables has all of the elements on the facade of a great company- a new office, startup culture, and young employees who work long hours. You can think of Social Tables like an onion. Once you start working here, it feels like a dream job, and then as you start to peel back layers (as you are there longer), you realize that there are some serious issues with the company. It starts from the top with in-experienced leadership. CEO is far too personal with some employees and lets friendships interfere with good management (and unwarranted promotions or opportunities). There is much pettiness involved- as is the case when valuable people left much to the chagrin of the CEO- and secrecy surrounding what really happened. You say the company has won a lot of industry awards for being so awesome?! Well- when you begin to realize that these awards are won due to one person writing in a sterling review of the company and not a general consensus, those awards begin to look fairly artificial. Apart from the young leadership up top (well, some older C level talent is being hired now) there is young and first time leadership and managing happening throughout the organization and it is clear based upon performance. The younger managers are really not in a position to be managing anyone - they do not instill confidence and are ineffective at leading the company forward and getting employees to be better versions of themselves (1 caveat is the CMO who is great and has a happy department despite his young age (so, it can be done)). Now- top level talent- well you can say goodbye to them because this company is either purging themselves of talent through firings that are questionable at best (get ready for all of your internal communications to be read by suspicious and petty leadership) or talented individuals across the company are leaving to pursue better opportunities that pay a decent wage for DC standards. Now- don't go complaining about salary at Social Tables, because the CEO will enter an emotionally anger charger tear filled speech to the entire company about how that "is ridiculous". Many employees are seeking to leave, top talent has already left, and management can't seem to find a solution to the many shortcomings of the company. Do yourself a favor and seek alternate employment if possible. A former top employee said so them self that, "the 3 year outlook of this company doesn't look great and it most likely won't be around). Get ready for an incredibly understanding and forceful reply from the VP of People in the comments section and take what you will from it. **You may note that there are so many great reviews posted on here besides this one- those are requested at the behest of leadership to help with hiring**
