Smart people, terrible leadership

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Being around some incredibly smart and great people - Pushing the remote culture for the greater world - People willing to help out to accomplish greater goals

Cons

- Values are only followed by leadership when convenient. Particularly around transparency around goals and expectations. Decisions and data are only shared among select individuals in marketing where goals are a constant moving target. - There is no SSOT datasource and there are ongoing inaccurate data issues that make doing your job, difficult - Disagreeing with leadership can get you shown the door. Many groups have a "do as I say" mentality. - There is no stability in marketing leadership. It is a revolving door with leadership "mutually agreeing" to the leave organization. - Handbook and documentation can often be used as a weapon against you. - Pay is well under industry benchmarks. Annual review cycles will rarely get you more than 5-10% salary increases.
