Pros

- friendly and supportive junior staff - decent benefits - lively events

Cons

- no transparency in how to grow within company - believes itself to be a staple in empathy but shows little to none of it to its staff; rarely considered how covid and systems of oppression affected employees - good luck if you're not smiling 24/7, not smiling will be interpreted as being ungrateful to be there or disengaged from the work - upper management cannot handle feedback, even though they would greatly benefit from it - some managers micromanage and show they do not trust their staff - management will set arbitrary goals and timelines then get mad at staff for not accomplishing them - reactive instead of proactive when it comes to DEI efforts - will continuously add responsibilities outside of your job description without salary increase or title change - feedback from management is rarely helpful, instead it's vague, petty and comes weeks after a project is completed

Pros

Really great place to work and a relaxed but passionate environment with a lot of impactful work being done. Once you join the moth you’re always apart and people stay connected for years even beyond their time here.

Cons

Small company so you may wear multiple hats but it’s good for growth.
