Pros

100% remote, half-day Fridays, smart colleagues and fun to work around, very good experience if you're motivated to learn

Cons

Leadership does not care about their employees, period. The recent positive reviews that I've read in January 2022 mimic a lot of the verbiage that I've heard leadership regurgitate in their pep talks to employees, so I question the validity of those reviews. Furthermore, I think the timing of those positive reviews is suspect, especially since the company had just lost 15% of its workforce to resignations in the 6 months prior. In my experience with this company, good work is only rewarded to a select elite and the company takes advantage of timid employees. The company touts an open-door policy but when employees voice their concerns, these concerns are either ignored or steamrolled. The company does not issue formal reviews or provide any constructive feedback. Which meant that you were scolded for any mistakes after the fact, received zero positive feedback, no yearly merit salary increases, and no career path. Most of their leadership members act as though their employees owe them something. It was an extremely toxic environment.

Pros

The work is challenging as marketing is constantly changing, but the team and the clients make it truly enjoyable. I learn something new every day and feel my contributions are acknowledged and valued. The employee ownership model means everyone has a financial stake in the success of the company, which is amazing.

Cons

While I love working in a fully remote environment, the setting can make it more difficult for new employees to become integrated into the company. You really need to be someone who jumps in and takes initiative to get to know other team members and learn from them.
