Moz Reviews

Pros

Based around core values like authenticity, generosity, and empathy, the culture at Moz is fantastic. The people truly care about one another, and want each other to succeed. This is especially true of senior management. Salaries are competitive, benefits are really wonderful (vacation expense reimbursement and professional coaching, e.g.), and there's lots of room/encouragement to grow as an employee. Moz has also matured...

Cons

The last few years have brought a ton of change at Moz, including in strategy and senior leadership. It'd be a difficult place for those who aren't comfortable in an environment where strategic direction regularly shifts. In addition, all that change has often made it difficult for the company to function as a cohesive whole; quite a lot of time is spent revisiting planning and procedures. I do think that's a temporary...

Pros

Moz takes great care of its people, with fair salaries and fantastic perks. The office environment is great, and the culture that's been built is extremely strong. Most of my coworkers were great people that I'd happily be friends with outside of work. This could be seen as a pro or a con, depending on what you're looking for out of work, but there's basically no consequences for failure or mistakes, and Moz (accurately)...

Cons

For a company that's been around for 15 years, it still feels really startup-y at times, in concerning ways. For example, they still know next to nothing about who is using their product or in what ways, yet they're making business decisions about tackling certain market segments without even understanding said segments at an actionable level. The company is customer-friendly to a point that is actually detrimental...

Advice to Management

The culture is strong - but employee tenure isn't the same thing as effectiveness, and activity is not the same thing as accomplishment. Management needs to take a hard look which mid-level managers can actually perform and which are legacy employees who seem to be around simply because others like them. E-team's vague business direction assumes/implies that employees can, and are willing to, act in an environment...

Pros

Great environment, nice people, free drinks.

Cons

Lack of vision, company need to pivot.

Pros

People are friendly and nice. Management seems to care about employees. Really good benefits. Lots of fun company activities. Dogs in the office!

Cons

Company is barely growing and most employees seem content with its anemic growth. Great lifestyle company, but if you are ambitious it might not be the right fit for you.

Pros

Generous benefits, including 4 months fully paid parental leave and paid-paid vacation ($3k/year stipend to spend on vacation) Live values of TAGFEE They do care about employees, and there's great work/life balance. It was rare to work more than 40 hours/week.

Cons

The culture is a bit click-y; lots of socializing / romantic relationships between staff outside of work. Feels like high school at times. The product hasn't been best-in-class in a long time; not enough innovation to improve it or introduce newer, better ones. They don't part ways with poor performers fast enough. I have worked for companies where it feels like you're on the A Team ... this feels like being on the...

Advice to Management

Be braver in making tough decisions. The 30% staff layoffs in 2016 were a step in the right direction (although, it was clear you made cuts based on salaries/titles and not on performance ... you should've used it as an opportunity to keep some of your A-players while exiting some of your B-players). You also need to take a hard look at who should (and shouldn't) remain on the E-team.

Pros

-Best culture & benefits that I've ever had and experienced. -A lot of the leadership is new which has brought some well needed fresh perspective to the company. A lot of new hires have also added to this fresh new wealth of outside expertise. *hint hint* This can be your time to shine. -We've really turned things around since they layoffs. We're cash flow positive, more responsible and the culture is finally back....

Cons

-Small company , so moving up can take a while. -There's just a very select few rotten apples stuck in how things were pre-layoffs who really just need to move on or leave. They clearly only ever worked here for the wrong reasons.

Advice to Management

Keep up the positive momentum.

Pros

Smart folks who care about their work product and each other. Great benefits and great people.

Cons

Tough industry competing with international community.

Advice to Management

Eyes on the prize.

Pros

Moz is a great place to work. Amazing company, great people and an awesome culture. I'd definitely recommend it to someone else.

Cons

None that I can think of.
