Pros

There are a few kind people who will go out of their way to help you.

Cons

The most concerning issue I witnessed was someone who filled four open marketing roles by hiring individuals who all closely resembled her. When I voiced concerns about this potentially discriminatory and racially biased hiring practice, my concerns were dismissed outright. The message was clear: discrimination is okay at Seismic. Additionally, I experienced inappropriate behavior from colleagues during work offsites, including being asked offensive questions. This behavior was brushed off as a result of intoxication, which does not excuse it. I also share the sentiment expressed by others regarding the March offsite in Dallas, it felt especially tone-deaf and inappropriate in light of the recent mass layoffs.

Pros

The best part of working here was my team, everyone I worked with, aside from my direct colleague, was kind, supportive, and willing to help. The PTO policy and flexible work schedule were positive, and the benefits (especially for anyone planning to start a family) were excellent. The overall pay was also competitive.

Cons

The company still operates like a startup. A major challenge was the lack of clear expectations. Tasks were often assigned without context, priorities shifted without communication, and responsibilities were passed around. Feedback was inconsistent, and I was sometimes held accountable for expectations that were never clearly outlined. This made it incredibly difficult to perform at a high level, despite my best efforts. Another concern was the unprofessional behavior from my direct colleague, who spoke negatively about me to multiple people across the org. This created an uncomfortable environment and eroded trust. Because of this I went from being a great employee to nearly being placed on a PIP. Their unclear expectations made success impossible. Clearer goals, consistent communication, and defined accountability, would've prevented me from being set up to fail.
