Pros

Remote first culture with some cool perks.

Cons

They don't actually have product managers. Engineering (meaning, the CEO and CTO) drive everything. Engineering leadership is crass, cruel, and mean, while also lacking in baseline technical fundamentals for a scaling media platform. Salaries are below market by up to 50%. All their good talent is leaving for greener pastures.

Pros

My team was genuinely so smart and kind, and working alongside them was one of the highlights of my time here. MNTN meets were well organized and fun. Benefits package is competitive (though salary is not). Good work life balance. Very family oriented.

Cons

Career growth here has very little to do with the quality of your work and is driven almost entirely by politics: who you’re aligned with, how well you manage up, and whether you’re in the right social circle. Different perspectives are routinely dismissed, even when they come from the person with the most relevant domain expertise. Leaders with big egos have cultivated a culture where agreement is rewarded and constructive feedback is not. Strategy shifts are constant and poorly communicated, creating lots of thrash and leaving teams perpetually reactive instead of focused. No raises unless you’re promoted which they also don’t do often.
