Pros

The environment is relaxed and the employees are sociable.

Cons

Upper management is awful and lacks leadership skills. They resemble children playing CEO-for-the-day. The pay is egregious, they exploit young, black, professionals entering the workforce and are unable/choose not to hire established professionals because they lowball prospective employees. The CEO has made jokes about their employees living check-to-check. The chief execs don't seem to have a true understanding of the black experience and culture, only their narrow viewpoints and personal experiences.

Pros

Remote work flexibility. Great opportunity to build relationships across different industries and gain exposure to a variety of brands, partners, and business challenges.

Cons

The organization often felt more focused on activity than impact. Success metrics weren’t always tied to meaningful outcomes, making it difficult to measure whether the work was truly solving customer or partner challenges. There was a recurring sense of redundancy, with teams operating on a hamster wheel of activity rather than driving transformational results. The culture could benefit from a longer-term, value-driven approach that prioritizes sustainable impact over short-term transactions.
