Pros
They managed to trap some of the best people I’ve ever worked with. Nothing bonds employees together like collective trauma. Work from home is largely the norm. The office is a really cool space.
Cons
This place will stagnate your career at best, and destroy it if you let it. Projects are routinely neutered and deadlines are impossible ensuring that when you leave you’ll leave with nothing to show for your time here. “Aim high” is a thing you say, never a thing you actually do. Standards are nonexistent. No desire to improve on anything. This place burns through creatives. My 1.25 years here made me qualify as “long-term”. No leadership. Consistently set up for failure. Important tasks are done backwards if at all. CEO is obsessed with design and as a result will listen to nothing you say unless you’re agreeing with him. Staff routinely cherry picks the feedback they want to hear. Misreporting is celebrated. Can’t learn from mistakes because mistakes are never acknowledged. Between Nov - March 2021 many new people were hired. By April 2021 nearly every new hire reported feeling burnt out. Severely mismanaged. New employees forced to come into office unnecessarily during a pandemic. New employees given no guidance, taking sink or swim to an extreme. Looks like they’re doing good from the outside, but is not as it appears to the world. My personal and professional morals were challenged on multiple occasions.
