Pros

Good location in SF Interesting products with lots of potential Off every other Friday – not really.

Cons

After 2017 yearly survey, marketing dept. morale was worse than when the CMO started 4 years ago. Was part of a tiger team, but changes discussed were for show. I don’t think things will change much under CMO's direct reports as they are never able to make any decisions and like to toss each other (and their teams) under the bus.. very sad indeed. “Low energy” CMO spent most of his time in the office with the door closed. Friendly with just a few. Products could do better, but they are not marketed well because all decisions are micro-managed by marketing leadership if you look at their background on LinkedIn, most who have never held a leadership marketing position at other companies.
