Stay away – significant leadership and organizational issues

Pros

Team members are generally hardworking and collaborative

Cons

It all stems from the top…not a good culture In my experience, this was a very challenging environment driven by inconsistent leadership direction and a lack of alignment at the top. Priorities shifted frequently, often without clear communication, which created confusion and repeated rework across teams. Leadership communication tended to emphasize appreciation and culture at a high level, but this did not consistently align with day-to-day decisions or operational realities. There appeared to be little to no standardized processes between teams, resulting in inefficiencies, miscommunication, and a reactive way of operating. The environment consistently felt chaotic due to the lack of structure, planning, and clear direction. Decisions were often made without full visibility into downstream impact, and follow-through on key initiatives felt inconsistent. I also observed ongoing turnover in leadership and employees leaving, creating a revolving door dynamic that made it difficult to maintain continuity or trust. Overall, the organization lacked the structure, consistency, and leadership stability needed to operate effectively.

Think Twice Before Accepting

Pros

Good benefits and nice office.

Cons

If you are reading these reviews while considering working here, take them seriously. I wish I had. There is a reason this company has a reputation for being a revolving door. Leadership is very skilled at saying the right things during interviews and team meetings, but the actual employee experience tells a very different story. Employees are made to feel disposable, regardless of tenure or loyalty. Frequent layoffs and ongoing “re-orgs” create a culture where people are not treated as valued employees, but as replaceable headcount, with little sense of basic humanity in how decisions are handled.

Strong Creative Talent Undermined by Poor Leadership

Business outlook

Pros

Talented, dedicated team members who genuinely cared about producing high-quality work. Strong camaraderie and mutual support among employees. Fast-paced environment that encouraged adaptability and multitasking. Design and marketing teams with strong creative capability and work ethic.

Cons

Layoffs of 17+ employees, many long-term contributors, followed by leadership displaying personal extravagance after citing financial strain. Lack of clear leadership and constantly shifting priorities. Reactive and controlling management style. Feedback often dismissed; constructive criticism not welcomed. Decisions perceived as driven by ego and profit over collaboration and employee well-being. Little transparency from leadership. Culture of fear and burnout. Lack of recognition and empowerment from the CEO. Talented employees leaving due to feeling undervalued or unsupported.
