Pros

Good brand name in the industry

Cons

Where to start.... First off, if you have a role that isn't connected to Amazon sales, your role is basically pointless. I left one of the top companies in the world to become a part of Pattern. I slowly found out I made one of the worst decisions of my life. The company is horrible at expanding their foothold on anything. For example, they tried to launch an internal brand acquisition group and had goals to acquire 5 in 2021, 5 in 2022....they acquired zero. Why? Because the CEO has no background in brand acquisition and it shows. The one brand he said yes to was a complete joke and it failed horribly. At the end of the day he is surrounded by to many yes men and whatever he says goes, this company is run by an opinion of 1 and it shows. On top of the failed programs, they kept putting managers with no digital marketing experience in charge of the digital marketing team. When I say no experience, I really mean it. It was like teaching a elderly man how to understand hieroglyphics...basically pointless. Due to management having zero experience in digital marketing they berate you when you tell them sound advice on why a brand is failing or exceeding. Paying attention to actual data from ad campaigns is pointless with them. Due to all of this, they have no knowledge on how to recognize value when they have it and will fire you without warning at any time.

Toxic Leadership and Lack of Diversity

Pros

Exposure to E-commerce: Working at Pattern can provide valuable experience in the fast-paced and dynamic e-commerce industry

Cons

I'm disappointed to say that my experience at Pattern has been overwhelmingly negative. The company culture is dominated by a small group of narcissistic leaders who prioritize their own egos over the well-being of employees. The CEO, CFO and CTO, in particular, exhibit a complete disregard for women in the workplace, creating a hostile and unwelcoming environment. The leadership team is overwhelmingly white and male, with women relegated to roles of little authority. This lack of diversity and inclusion is a major issue that needs to be addressed. If you're considering a job at Pattern, I strongly advise you to think twice. The toxic work environment and lack of opportunities for women make it a place to avoid.

Pros

There are some really good things happening at Pattern, it feels like a rocketship and roles are constantly evolving. It's incredibly difficult to get bored and the perks are mid-tier

Cons

It's a glorified good ol' boys club where women are often alienated and ostracized, often unintentionally. Leadership is cut throat and often fire with little to no warning. It's hard to ever feel safe in this company and I think leadership likes and curates that enviornment
