Pros

A great place to: - grow in your skills. There are multiple tech stacks used across the company so there is an opportunity to always be learning something new. - have a family. The parental leave policy is incredibly generous. - level up in your "soft skills." Having thoughtful, respectful debate is a skill that is built. Moz recognizes this and provides for employees to develop this skill. - have flexible working arrangements. Moz has worked at developing and supporting their ability for workers to work remotely. A secondary benefit of this is that teams also get good at documenting decisions and architectures so that the amount of "tribal knowledge" is usually decreasing.

Cons

- promotion path was murky. It took months of asking my manager "what do I need to do in order to get promoted?" in order to get an actionable answer. - product vision was lacking. I spent a significant amount of time during my last year working on features that never made it in front of customers or working on bugs. It was difficult to find things to work on that would help grow our customer base. This did start to change during the end of my time there.

Strong company culture that values innovation, collaborative teams with smart colleagues, access to cutting-edge SEO tools, supportive leadership that encourages learning, and plenty of opportunities to work on impactful projects.

Cons

Processes can feel slow at times for decision-making, workload spikes during product launches, some departments operate in silos despite efforts at alignment, compensation could be more competitive for the industry, and remote work policies were occasionally inconsistent.
