Pros
Relatively generous PTO and health and 401K benefits.
Cons
Upper management portrays image of "we're all family and we're all passionate about our mission". Cricut preaches honesty, integrity, and transparency, but fails to deliver on its promises. The culture is somewhat toxic, with backstabbing and tribalism mentality with a lack of genuine support or growth, especially in the SQA department. Opportunities for growth are nonexistent, and any dissent is swiftly shut down. What’s sold as a values-driven environment is really just a facade—an illusion of transparency masking the reality of a deeply flawed, top-down power structure. If you're looking for a company that actually lives its values, this isn’t it. When customer issues occur, middle management becomes overly panicky, over-reactive, and blames the subordinates instead of being responsive, proactive, and acknowledging the bad oversight like a true leader. Even though Cricut "tries" to improve, there is plenty of nepotism and coverup of middle management by upper management.
