Pros

The only good thing about this place was free catered lunch on Fridays. I would say the free snacks in the kitchen were a plus, but most of the time they were either really crappy snacks or the cabinets were empty.

Cons

Either you work for the internet domain company XYZ or the lead generation company IT Media, but you are screwed whichever way you go. You will be massively underpaid. You will be treated unfairly. You will be controlled. You will be pigeonholed. Every single manager has a tendency to give you meaningless responsibilities that result in you being stuck either in front of an excel sheet or making phone calls all day everyday. If it's your lucky day, you'll get to do both. There is nothing this place can do for you professionally. Your potential will be squandered and you will be wasting your time. This is the absolute truth. Don't let the facade fool you.

Thank you for offering your feedback. As you know, we’re a young company that is constantly learning and striving to create a best-in-class workplace environment for everyone. I’m glad you enjoyed the open kitchen. Those snacks do seem to fly off the shelves, so we’ll try to replenish them more frequently. You mentioned that we massively underpay our employees. Based on market surveys, we are paying above industry averages across the board. Having said that, our aim isn’t to be above average; our aim is to be excellent. We will continue to shape our comprehensive compensation to be best-in-class. We do want to apologize that you didn’t find us to be the place to maximize your potential. Perhaps your feedback, both positive and negative, will help us become that much better in the years to come.
