Pros

THE BEST coworkers- so supportive and kind. Everyone has each other's back and I've made life long friends here. Dogs in the office. Work from home Fridays. In-office parties, our office manager is an absolute gem.

Cons

I really am not sure where to start- if I could give no stars, I would. I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. The management team at The Dodo does not value their employees. They have explicitly expressed that they don't expect people to stick around here long and see us as expendable. I never felt valued as an employee over the two years I worked there, nor did I feel valued as a human being. There is no advancement within The Dodo-- they do not make career development a priority, and continually shoot people down for promotions citing that there isn't a "business need." I was told for over 6 months that there was not a "business need" for me to assume a higher title and right before I left, I was told there was a business need but that I still wasn't being considered for the position. I had been doing the work of a 4 person team for months, without change in compensation or title, and when I raised those concerns I was told I was being "negative" and had an attitude. The management team at The Dodo has created an unbelievably toxic work environment and continues to get away with treating their employees like trash while adding more and more to their plate and expecting them to just accept and smile through it. They don't accept feedback or any raised concerns, and just yell at employees who do decide to stick up or advocate for themselves. Or worse, put a target on their back and work to get them fired. (It has happened) The bullying and intimidation from management is unacceptable. I have never felt more disrespected as I have working at The Dodo and never felt supported or valued as an employee for over two years. I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone. I left The Dodo without another position lined up because it was affecting my mental health to such an astronomical level- I owed it to myself to leave. And I am not alone in that decision. The turnover rate is INSANE, and management refuses to acknowledge that it's a problem- mostly because they just don't care. Do NOT work here. I'm hoping at least one person sees this and decides to take heed and seek employment at a company that doesn't intentionally make their employees feel like garbage.
