Pros

Decent pay and benefits, great co-workers, working for an interesting organization doing cool projects.

Cons

The CMO is awful. She has poisoned the culture of the marketing department. People are afraid of her and won't speak up for fear of being belittled. So much energy goes toward trying to assuage her and guess what she wants, which she'll often switch up anyway. And she's empowered a lot of people to now behave in the same way so marketing leaders are getting meaner to their teams too. If the job market was better, you'd see a mass exodus.

Pros

Remote work, good pay and benefits

Cons

Lack of professionalism coming straight down from the ceo, a huge sense of self importance like they are changing the world. Making aspirational claims that are ridiculous. Silly organization that is going down.

Project Management Institute Response

We take feedback seriously and encourage employees to contact Global Talent to share their concerns.

Pros

The mission and remote work

Cons

I’m adding my voice to the other reviews in hopes that leadership will finally hold the CMO accountable for creating a psychologically unsafe workplace. The marketing organization operates in constant fear, employees worry about being humiliated or targeted, and several have gone on leave or resigned to protect their mental health. While HR might normally be a channel for support, with Pierre’s entanglement in this leadership dynamic, the distrust runs deep. People don’t feel safe coming forward or believe that concerns will be handled impartially. I hope senior leadership outside marketing takes these consistent concerns seriously and addresses the damage before more great people are driven out.
