Good culture, but an uncertain future

Pros

The legend about the good culture is true, even though it is now experiencing an existential crisis after massive layoffs in August. The company really does want you to have a happy life in the office and outside of work. So many people are spurred to take interesting vacations because you have to take vacation to get the $3,000 yearly bonus that can only be spent on vacation activities! HR knows that the layoff has had an impact on morale, and they are trying their best to help the company through the shell shock of such a massive wound. I'm really rooting for them to succeed.

Cons

- After the layoff, the company scaled back its ambitions and took a more defensive posture that emphasizes maintenance and incremental improvement of the existing flagship product. - After the layoff, the office feels deflated and quiet, way too large for the reduced workforce. - After the layoff, many of the office perks have been cut. - 401k match is not immediate (it has to vest starting after one year) - No annual bonus structure

Hi -- I appreciate your thoughtful review. We are very proud of the culture we have fostered at Moz and we are working hard to build on the parts that have made Moz a special place. We have come a long way since this summer and we still have work to do. I am pleased that we have been able to continue with almost all of the benefits and perks, including Paid PAID vacation (which you mentioned). We recently asked Mozzers for feedback on how they are feeling about Moz and our future. We received some excellent, actionable feedback and are working hard to re-establish trust and belief across the company. Thanks for rooting for us, it means a lot!

Tough place to grow

Pros

- Inclusive, considerate culture - High base compensation in lieu of merit-based bonuses - Good place for employees to do the standard 9-5 and nothing more

Cons

- No business growth means no business need to grow employees. Many high performing employees fresh into their careers are leaving or in the process of leaving knowing there is no upward mobility. - In "maintenance mode", optimizing the costs to stabilize and run their core business. No investment in innovation with a culture that doesn't facilitate going the extra mile means you're not working on anything exciting.

Thank you for the feedback, and for the three years of service. Your comment about innovation being stymied in part due to the employee culture is insightful. We are working to improve the ability for engineers to contribute and advance their careers in a lower growth environment. One of the ways we are are exploring is by allowing engineers to lead work on a project basis and have significant discretion on the team direction and work prioritization.

Seriously Incredible Place To Work

Pros

Pay is fair. Amazing benefits and perks ($3,000 for you to go on vacation each year). Work/life balance is encouraged. Super smart and friendly people.

Cons

Teams can sometimes be a little siloed. It can be a tad clique-ish, which isn't terribly surprising since most people are more likely to befriend those who they work with.
