Pros

- Some talented individual contributors doing their best despite poor leadership. - Flexible remote work policy, but that seems to be changing.

Cons

- Senior leadership lacks clear strategic direction — the CEO isn't even able to answer fundamental questions like “Who is our target customer?” during a company meeting. - Product organization operates without focus or vision, leading to frequent pivots and rework. - Culture of blame and fear rather than accountability or collaboration; mistakes are punished, not learned from. - Dominant “bro” culture at the top fosters toxic masculinity and excludes diverse perspectives. -Low morale as a result of poor leadership and unclear priorities. -Business outlook is bleak; customers are churning at a high rate.

Pros

- Great Leaders: Transparent, present, and hard working - Competitive compensation - A TON of momentum within the company

Cons

- Remote culture makes it hard to bond - Small company: A lot of scrappiness with softwares for your day to day, so you don't always have the best in class tools to succeed.

Pros

- Little to no micromanagement - There are a handful of decent people who work there - Traveling on the company's dime is a nice perk - In theory, the values are solid.

Cons

- If you aren't on the sales team, the company truly does not care about you. - Tech-bro culture - Unrealistic expectations and goals (unless you are on the sales team) - Not Shopmonkey's fault, but the customer base can be volatile and difficult to work with.
