They can and should do better - Marketing Consultant 2A Consulting Employee Review

2A is a case study in how to run a business successfully--hire smart, talented people, and nurture a culture where they can and want to do their best work. Most impressive is their ability to cultivate a sense of community with an entirely remote staff--one of transparency, kindness, inclusivity, and collaboration, coupled with a commitment to delivering great quality work. No one competes here. We're all one team committed to setting each other up for success. As a result, 2A is a place where I can and want to do my best work. I know my contributions are valued.

None that come to mind

Great benefits and great people. Work life balance is encouraged, but don't get comfortable with that.

I wouldn't say having a layoff 2 weeks before Christmas is really the mark of a compassionately run company. Neither is framing it as it "not working out" as if it's equal parts the employee's fault and the fault of senior management's poorly calculated earnings projections. DEIB efforts ring as hollow, especially when the diverse headcount always seems to take the biggest hit in layoffs. Not exactly a place to learn and grow, you need to hit the ground running here. It's like any other B2B tech agency, lots of lip service and instability. This is not a place you can feel comfortable for a while unless you are a senior, and even then, who knows?
