Pros

Solid coworker pool. Pay is at the top end of any industry. The people are what make this place great. Fantastic benefits package: unlimited PTO, good insurance. flexible hours when needed.

Cons

Beware of new marketing leadership and those above them allowing the exodus of great talent. I watched the new CMO single handedly run so much in to the ground since she got here. Firing people who speak out against her (or tell her the truth in many cases) and forcing some of the top talent out based on lies. Its disgusting.

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.
