Pros

- Cool brands - Learn Modern Digital marketing - Work from home - Relaxed PTO policy

Cons

- Heavily underpays: Pillar4 is the kind of place where you learn a skill then leave 1-2 years later to get actual market pay for your skills. - Bad management: Managers are all fairly young and first time managers. They don't know what they're doing and this leads to micromanagement and disorganization - Weird Culture: Pillar4 is the typical small company that pushes meaningless perks like snacks, happy hours, and other company events. There's also a heavy push to spend time with each other outside of the 9-5

Pros

Unlimited PTO, flexible work schedule, occasionally interesting projects

Cons

No organization in leadership, complete lack of transparency, laid off 65% of company in a single Zoom call due to organizational and leadership issues (note: all high-paid leadership positions remained and continued to take vacations etc). Regularly moved staff to different roles without consulting them or giving any heads up or preparation. No clear progression for career growth; promotions were often promised and never realized or delivered upon. Projects were often quick and poorly completed, then needed to be returned to to "polish up" because original timelines for project were unattainable. Leadership was a boys club of middle-aged white men who often spewed nonsense and had no real idea what their teams were doing.
