Pros

Remote-first setup, offering flexibility for employees who prefer working remotely.

Cons

The marketing team lacks clear direction and is frequently affected by inconsistent decisions from upper management. Constant changes make it difficult to execute effectively. Many younger team members are leaving because they don’t see long-term growth or a clear future at the company.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
