Pros

Varied and interesting work with a passionate team whose primary focus is on building solutions and putting them in the hands of users.

Cons

Many teams suffer from constantly reinventing the wheel and not learning from industry best practices. Recently the company has gone too deep into AI, also using it to justify layoffs, leading to a rapid proliferation of code slop.

Pros

[there used to be] Very smart people, solid product that customers love

Cons

Please take this to heart - Unfortunately, not only are there no growth opportunities at MC anymore but the remaining ones will leave you directly in the firing line for senior leadership to take out their toxic verbal attacks on you for not being able to meet their unrealistic expectations of work output, and especially if you express any doubt or question the direction the company is going in. In the wake of the AI washed lay-off we were given the opportunity to "get good at AI" and become "managers of agents" but without any real support (educationally or financially) to do so. The company is in free fall, with the vast majority of the high performers leaving for other opportunities. In marketing alone, in the space of about 7 weeks, 70% of the team has chosen to leave post-layoff, I suspect sales will follow after quarter close. Think long and hard about a decision to join this company anytime soon.
