Pros

Pros? The pro of MM is if you like being micromanaged and a sweatshop mentality you've come to the right place.

Cons

You could walk on water in the place and still be accused of not knowing how to swim. The pres and CEO have this needless ego and a complete inability to hear what people around them are saying. You'll be micromanaged, maligned, and 70-hour work weeks will earn comments from the CEO like, "I just don't feel like you're getting enough traction." I walked in so many days at 8am and left after sunset in the best months of the summer only to hear my team wasn't getting enough done. Maybe because they fired 3 of 5 teammates 2 months into my tenure here, without even mentioning to me that this was going to happen. All that junior work fell onto me; when I was supposed to be growing traction and building something of value I was covering 100 little tasks left in the wake of mass layoffs. The other members of my team were so burnt out they stopped caring. Remember the internet in 1998? When video was bad and just having a page meant you were a somebody? That's where these clowns are stuck.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. It pains me to hear this and apologize that you had an experience that is opposite from the positive, motivating, energized one we strive to create for all team members. Clearly we missed the mark in terms of what we’re committed to delivering and that all of our team members deserve. The doubling of our headcount in the past two years, based on the success we’re having and size of our ambitions, has required us to evolve many things to accommodate a larger team, focused on more projects. The importance of decentralizing decision making is critical for us to succeed at helping the millions of users who visit our brands every month to invest better, and we'll continue to focus on evolving how we execute to get better each day. Thank you again for the feedback. Tom Hendrickson Founder & CEO

Pros

- Successful and growing. Unlike other start-ups I'm never worried about losing my job as long as I continue to provide value to the company. The founders have a strong and infectious vision for the company. - Everybody is really friendly and nice. - It's a clock-in-clock-out attitude. I don't feel like I have to be on-call at all times and I can work the hours I want (within reason). - They're extremely organized and work hard on efficiency. - If you're a go-getter who is young, flexible, and adapts well or if you like to put your head down and work really hard all day this is a great place for you. Resourcefulness is one of their core values and that's probably the most valuable skill you can have at this company in my opinion. That means getting to work alongside a bunch of other resourceful people which is great.

Cons

The company is growing too fast for its own good and as a result has a tendency to undervalue its culture/employees by accident. I don't think this is because the people in charge hate their employees or don't care it's just that their focus is so much on their vision for the company that they forget to live in the present and nurture a culture where everybody feels valued and fulfilled. That said- this is typical for a start up. I knew what I was getting into when I signed up and I'm a little shocked that there are people who expected something different.
