Pros
Well, they sure laid it on thick with a generous salary for experienced talent, and I guess the weekly happy hours were a nice touch.
Cons
Seriously, what company experiences two mass layoffs in the same year? After going through a mass downsize earlier in the year, Manifest tapped all this incredible talent from across the board, shoving 200 people into an ill-equipped office for roughly six months, where upwards from 6 to 10 people would be shoved in an office or a conference room turned into a make-shift office. It's the only place I've ever worked that I routinely had meetings in the lobby because there was nowhere to hold a private meeting. Talent had been baited with considerable work and an impressive portfolio, promises of growth, a flashy new office to meet demands, and rewarding company culture. What was delivered was a disorganized shell of an organization. New staff were brought on without any on-boarding, piecing together the mess their accounts were left in. Some people were brought on with no work, sitting at their desks for a full month without anything to do. Plans were scrapped to move to the new office. Upper management was completely invisible. It was entirely bait-and-switch. Don't be fooled by any promises of revamping or changing—this company is a total tire fire.
