Pros

This company is a great place to work. It taught me valuable lessons, especially in time management and handling multiple platforms. They also offer good benefits and incentives when performance targets are met, making the incentivization system motivating and rewarding.

Cons

While the company offers a great learning environment, there are noticeable gaps in leadership quality across some teams. Instances of micromanagement, inconsistent support, and unclear direction can create a frustrating work atmosphere, especially for those who are proactive and seek growth. High turnover in certain departments may point to poor leadership practices or lack of employee engagement efforts. Favoritism and internal politics sometimes impact team dynamics, making it harder for all employees to feel equally valued. Feedback channels could be improved. Although feedback is encouraged, follow-through and accountability are often lacking. Exit interviews and concerns raised by employees should be handled with greater confidentiality and professionalism to build trust and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Great culture, fast speed and lots of innovation and collaboration across the board.

The business reliance on Google for traffic was heavy which later caused issues as ChatGPT and Google AI overview showed up.
