Pros

It's one of the first places I've worked at where the employees really like each other. The culture is so unique that it allows people to actually show up as their authentic selves, which is powerful

Cons

When you move into a leadership position in this organization, you get paid fairly, but that money just ends up going to a therapist because you're trying to figure out how to survive the workload. The goals that are set by Sr. Leadership are unreasonable because there aren't enough people resources to support the goal. So inevitably, you just end up burning out fast. Additionally, Sr. Leadership doesn't trust their employees or know how to manage conflict. Rather than exploring the root cause of issues, there is a fear that the conflict between employees will breakdown the company. So instead of help employees navigate through their disagreements so they can effectively collaborate, Sr. Leadership just ends up pushing out their least favorite employee so they don't have to deal with it.

Pros

The health insurance wasn't a nightmare to navigate.

Cons

Blavity's micromanagement was absolutely suffocating. I literally could not send a client email without someone questioning my word choice or demanding to know why I included that person on the thread. Every single decision got routed through some approval chain and nobody would even explain why they said no, just "not approved" and silence. I started to feel like my manager was waiting for me to fail, like the hiring process was a mistake and now I had to prove myself every single day all over again. By my third month there I completely stopped suggesting anything because every idea got was the kind of slow trust erosion where you don't notice it happening until you realize you've already mentally checked out.
