Pros

- Great co workers who are kind and hard working - Easy to get cheap/free Cricut products

Cons

- Leadership team is full of incompetent hypocrites - eg. The Senior Leadership lives in California and flies business class to show their faces in the office once a month and then insist that their employees show up twice a week even if they're unwell. And then have the gall to claim that frugality is part of their values. - In the last year the few competent leaders have already left the company, and more continue to leave every week. - Leadership continues to make stupid decisions such as limited uploads, even when warned by the employees - This year all employees got a terrible bonus (<3%) because market, revenue etc., but they decided to award a dividend, effectively giving the CEO a $10Million bonus and several hundred thousands to other execs. Also consider that they laid off several people in the same year. This to me feels like a sinking ship mentality where the leadership is stuffing their pockets as much as they can before everything else goes down. - No reduction in workload after layoffs, which means you must overwork for the same pay

Pros

I loved my team. I had incredible benefits, and the projects we worked on were always so fun.

Cons

They moved from a flexible hybrid schedule to encouraging people basically to come back to office. That's why I ultimately left because I wanted a job where I didn't have to put my kid in childcare.

Pros

Coworkers at the same level are generally good people and easy to work with. Benefits are acceptable.

Cons

- Toxic and political work environment - Leadership is disconnected and often incompetent - Strong “power trip” culture, especially at director and executive levels, with little respect for ICs - Culture feels fake; leadership promotes values they don’t actually follow - Communication doesn’t feel safe. People are careful about what they say to avoid backlash - Instances of inappropriate workplace behavior, including the use of racially insensitive language, which is not always adequately addressed - Feels like image matters more than employees or integrity - Be skeptical of overly positive reviews; they may not reflect the reality many employees experience
