Pros

Nice office. Some people are very nice

Cons

Awful management. Their technology is a pure garbage. very white culture and many stupid levels of management. Their business model is based on pretending of giving away money and encouraging ordinary people to buy garbage products from them.

Pros

The office is really nice. Free soda. The pay is good if you land a good position. But the anxiety that comes along with any role is not worth it. Before accepting an offer, ask why the position is open. It's likely because there has been many, many people who have quit and no one is willing to put up with PCH and their backwards way of working.

Cons

I don't have enough time to list every single con because it's that bad. I was warned about the toxic culture before accepting my offer by a previous employee but I wanted to give PCH the benefit of the doubt — but wow. It's bad. Like, really bad. No one knows what's going on and everyone talks crap. I was told on my interview that the different departments are "collaborative" so I'd need to be willing and able to work well with different teams. What they meant is that no task can be completed... ever. Because every task has to be run through 5 different teams who are all being told different things from their different team leaders. So you'll spend your day chasing down people from other departments to try to complete on task. It's INSANITY. It's crazy, because they have so much money that they don't realize they are paying people to just sit around and complain about how ridiculous the work life is there. They also function like they're still in 1995. It's 2021, PCH. Wake up.
