Not a great place to work

Campaign manager & product manager

Pros

I got to beef up my resume by overachieving and getting promoted. (Timing played a big part in this) I got to understand what working in a toxic workplace was like so I don’t put myself in that situation again. Made a couple life long friends. Their CEO is genuinely a great guy.

Cons

Leadership will gaslight you. Pay is shockingly low for the MarTech space. Their numbers are down and have been decreasing for years. Leadership never gets held responsible and they lay off people that aren’t the root of the problem. The good leaders get taken advantage of and overworked. They are like that meme-y “work from the office for the culture” kinda place that you see on tik tok where the office culture is dead and everyone complains while eating free snacks. Very fast paced, stressful, work environment. You are selling a bad product to customers. Not a long term career solution.

Pros

Lots of exclamation points in their daily notes.

Cons

There’s horrific writing on the site but if you follow their very strict SEO rules they’ll allow it. It’s a mill… quantity over quality. Don’t do it
