Pros

Access to technology/software, exposure to hyper-local SEO, great coworkers, insight into other departments/finances. My direct manager was always great and pleasant.

Kontras

They don't invest in current employees, they expect top-notch above and beyond work all the time. My workload was almost always around the 60 hour mark in my 40 hour work week. For product team members (SEO, Content, Paid Media), you're expected to fix issues that arise from other departments due to incorrectly sold packages, errors from web department, etc. and if you don't, you're grilled by upper management. The company tends to get ideas in their heads, fulfill product development (often without much testing), then decide that they're discontinuing that product. They dangle opportunities in front of you and tell you to wait until your year anniversary for promotions/pay raises only to find out you're keeping the same title and only getting a 4% bump in pay. They don't give you access to the proper equipment to perform your job duties. Computers are always 5+ years old and too slow to run certain necessary applications. If you enjoy working from home, know you will be judged by executives for taking your allowed 2 days/week even though some of them are fully remote. Their new business direction is very bad. Everyone's roles are being merged into the same thing with management that doesn't know how to perform all those positions' individual roles. The CEO made everyone move upstairs in the office so he could play hardball with the landlord for his new lease negotiation. The CEO constantly talks about OpenClaw, but does not give resources for team members to access it. What they do have setup is very partial and causes many more issues for product team members to fix. You accrue PTO very slowly and benefits are not good. They changed to be very expensive for those that are not single individuals. Only 2 weeks of paid leave for p/maternity (new 2026). Depressing office environment. Very cliquish. Its obvious that Sales and Tech departments are the favorites for leadership and constantly seem to not have the same rules as product team members or strategy team members. If you love nepotism, its very rewarded with this company. If you count on getting some fresh-out-of-school experience, being micromanaged by leadership, love doing busy work, ok with lower than average pay for the amount of work you do, then this is the company for you. If you count on getting cost of living raises, title promotions, good benefits, accommodations for personal situations, access to certifications/trainings, building a strong career at this company, look somewhere else.

Pros

Free coffee, great coworkers, somewhat flexible work-from-home schedule.

Kontras

I was here for three years and every major decision made by management seemed to backfire. When hired, my department was in its own room, the entire department met daily to discuss what they were working on, people were getting hired, the company was growing, it looked like I made a great decision! A few months in, the room was vacated and transformed into what was intended to be a meeting room for prospective clients but instead became a cavernous room for some internal meetings and a quiet area for maybe 3 or 4 people who actually went over there to work. The department was mixed in with all the others and a few people left over the decision. Then, things were fine for a while, but over the last year have consistently gone downhill. First, the company, which built and maintained Wordpress websites for clients, chose to force the clients off Wordpress and onto a new website template built in-house. Most legacy clients said no thanks and left. Sales team has been making plenty of sales, which I do hope makes plenty of money, but given what has happened this year it doesn’t look like it. There have been multiple rounds of layoffs this year and I was claimed in the latest as of this review. The current company workforce is about half what it was when I started.
