No Transparency or Leadership

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- some really good/talented people to work and hang out with - a stocked kitchen - open, airy office setting - work/life balance - good location - dogs allowed

Cons

- revolving door -- some really amazing folks weren't valued and so they left - lack of transparency from top-down -- leadership didn't adequately share details about the business and the company's short- and long-term goals, key hires as well as key departures, unless asked direct questions, and even then, only the bare minimum was shared at quarterly meetings. - the 2 founders did not exhibit leadership qualities. they mostly hid in their offices - sometimes, SOWs went through with little or no consultation with UX, content and design, making timelines challenging at best

Pros

On the surface, the place seems alright. Until you realize that leadership only cares about themselves. Pros: -ergonomic office -plenty of free snacks -regular office parties -some good clients and interesting work -a few wonderful, talented people

Cons

Cons: -arrogant "boys club" is in charge -dishonest leadership, routinely lied to clients to make themselves look better (can you really call yourselves data-driven if you make up the data?) -poor work-life balance -high turnover and frequent fires leads to poor morale -no career development -overpromises on contracts and staff is left to work long hours
