Pros

free coffee, snacks, comfortable space. Pretty much standard stuff found in many companies in "digital"/tech space.

Cons

- Some teams and individuals are favorited over others. - Low pay even for senior level positions. - Initial promises made during offer were broken due to company "changes". If you bring up those conversations, leadership becomes defensive. - Uninspired work & no room for growth unless you're a marketer working 24/7.

Pros

I've never felt more camaraderie with my coworkers anywhere else. I genuinely loved the team and HR was always doing things to help morale and to improve the company. I always felt like they genuinely cared and wanted to make it a good place to work. Additionally there were a few people on the leadership team in Creative, Development, and People Operations who would try their best to fight the good fight. The unlimited PTO and work/life balance were also highly appreciated.

Cons

Major pay disparities between people who do the same job or carry the same title. If you're coming in to WebMechanix fight for a higher salary because there's someone else who is being paid more than you for the same job. Blatant favoritism by leadership. Questionable moral decisions around pay when it comes to working with talent outside the US. Generally if the leadership team (again with a few exceptions) can get away with paying someone pennies they'll do it.
