Pros

I had a great manager and support from my team. I learned a lot about hosting and Wordpress.

Cons

I was a consistent top performer and was even gifted a trip because of my results. However, when it came to advancing my career, I often felt held back. I was passed over for promotion multiple times, and notably, three out of four individuals promoted instead ended up on performance plans and eventually left the company. Beyond the trip I earned, it often felt as though my contributions weren’t fully valued and there was little focus on developing talent for the next level. I hope that with new leadership, this approach will begin to change.

Pros

Lots of support from management. I always felt like I was heard. Plenty of support from my teammates. The CEO is an amazing person.

Cons

Customers only reach out because there are issues with their sites; causing them to be upset most of the time. Tough job if you are not used to remote work.

Pros

Remote. Great people. Decent benefits. Nice work/life balance.

Cons

Subpar pay. Lack of career growth and stability. Upper management and leadership are heavily disconnected from the core product. They want to "AI" their core platform just because everybody else is doing it but they have no clear direction / solution that makes sense. They sign contracts for services that they don't vet fully and cause headaches for tech support. They mask "reorgs" with surprise layoffs.
