Pros

The people are amazing and try to do their best, but their hands are tied by incompetent leadership in the marketing department.

Cons

Lack of flexibility. Management tracks your days in the office, CMO that knows nothing about marketing. Plus he plays favorites and puts his direct reports against one another. He puts people into positions without allowing others to apply.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, cool office space, great colleagues.

Cons

The CMO has no understanding of Marketing Strategy, and no long term vision. Either he doesn't care enough or respect his team enough to rely on their expertise. And instead, makes snap decisions that do not contribute to long term goals. As a result, the Marketing department has become one giant popularity contest because the only way to win budget is to be the favorite flavor of the week. Work here if you'd like to be treated like an order taker for whatever random marketing activity seems "fun" this week.
