Pros

You will get to work with exceptionally talented and driven peers. You'll learn a lot and see marketing challenges from a new perspective. This can set you up for long-term career success. The pay and benefits are competitive, and remote work and travel opportunities make this an appealing company to work for.

Cons

Marketing senior leadership is some of the worst you will ever encounter. At times, the behavior from senior leaders seems cruel for sport. The environment is heavily political: One day you're a favorite, the next you're being scapegoated or gaslighted. Constant changes and terminations create a culture of anxiety and fear.

Pros

The product is an industry leader, making it exciting to work on. The teams are filled with incredibly smart, creative, and collaborative people. Benefits and remote flexibility are solid, and there are good opportunities to learn SEO and digital marketing deeply.

Cons

The work culture can occasionally lean toward working harder than playing hard especially as the company scales.
