Pros

Great culture. Everyone I have worked with has been super nice, and fun to talk with. There are no negative vibes. The leadership is really good at being transparent, I feel like i know how the decisions are being made and how they will effect me. The work is always interesting and I feel like I'm able to do interesting and unique work.

Cons

There have been some layoffs that have rattled the company.

Pros

Interesting client portfolio (small startups to Fortune 500) Room to be creative Lots of talented staff to learn from Pay and benefits are pretty good, remote-first culture is great

Cons

Unsustainable scope of work and high burnout Unclear path to advancement: mid-level employees who are interested in promotion are often asked to perform the role above their own to cover staffing gaps on accounts, but formal promotions are continually delayed or bypassed in favor of external hires Pattern of top-down management that can feel dismissive or condescending to junior and mid-level staff
