Pros

This company could’ve been something special, but the promotion of certain individuals into the highest level leadership roles was not the smartest move and there was a clear decline after the biggest change happened. There are certainly some hard-working and inspiring people at the lower levels of the company, but not even close to making the job worth it. The IT team was nice and helpful. Not much else to say on the positive front.

Cons

In my opinion, a poorly led company where the OGs drink the koolaid and it feels like a cult. Felt kinda scary to me honestly. Never felt valued there even though I performed well and made decent money, but nothing to brag about because the commission structure isn’t the best and the stress wasn’t worth it. The company seems to be pushing people out (by adding more annoying processes, 3-4 mandatory office days when it used to be remote, unpaid OT (nights/weekends), PIPs, unattainable metrics, and more) to avoid layoffs and quietly burn bridges. Even while performing well, I was in fear for my job at all times in that environment. It’s sad, and I hoped for more from Swoon.

Pros

I have a contracted job at a big company that values me. Not Swoon.

Cons

Low pay. No paid holidays. 5 days to use as vacation or sick time. No communication to see how things are going at the company I work at. The company I work at authorizes a pay raise and Swoon takes more of the raise than they give to me. Health insurance offered does not cover anything major that may happen.
