Expect layoffs and disrespect

Pros

I had a great time working at movement labs... until the layoffs started.

Cons

There was a sea change in late 2023, where many highly paid executives were brought on while productive staff were laid off. Overnight, management tone changed to disrespect and bullying when employees negotiate for salary. Extremely off-the-ball middle management, don't expect the company to follow their own policies about pay, hours worked, and feedback.

Pros

The staff doing the day-to-day work are talented and hardworking. They are genuinely great people to collaborate with. There's also a strong union that advocates effectively for its members. The mission is important and worth believing in. Remote work is fully supported, and I never had trouble taking PTO, though in talking with colleagues, that isn't universal.

Cons

There's a culture of arbitrary urgency. Sprints are frequent, even outside of election periods. Requests often come in last minute and with the expectation that you drop everything you're currently working on. Then the work gets held up by layers of approval. Layoffs and reorganizations happen frequently, and internal surveys show morale trending downward. Even outside of restructuring, job descriptions can shift without notice, sometimes fundamentally changing the nature of a role or expanding its scope considerably and without any corresponding adjustment to pay. Raises and promotions are opaque. There is no clear criteria, no timeline, and little explanation, even when employees ask directly.

Pros

The organization presents itself as an incubator and consulting firm that claims to use technology and experimentation to fight fascism and build progressive power. On paper, the mission sounds meaningful.

Cons

- Writer are expected to handle everything from project management to design with no regard for role boundaries - Professional writing skills are dismissed and treated as disposable - Leadership openly suggests that AI tools can replace real writers, which feels insulting and demeaning -Years of experience and creative expertise are not respected - The atmosphere feels unhealthy and dismissive toward professionals - Pride in your work is slowly stripped away - Staying here damages morale and confidence over time
