Pros

Smart people, lots of ways to connect with people on a personal level through social channels

Cons

Product has no respect for marketing and makes no pretense of hiding it. They have a history of talking down on the team and taking away marketing projects because they think they would do a better job. As a result, it’s extremely hard for anyone on marketing to progress their career because they get such little visibility and respect. The company also claims to support inclusivity but doesn’t actually do it. Most senior leaders are white, and in the past few months, many POC leaders left citing lack of support as an issue. They have been replaced by White people, significantly tipping the diversity scales. HR won’t address this and everyone is expected to act like nothing has changed.
