Pros

There are a lot of good people working for Gather. The team is mostly positive, and comradery is expected from everyone. Some of the teams are well established and have a solid structure and capable managers leading them. They offer many entry-level positions in sales and customer support, so it can be a good place to start a career in one of those fields.

Cons

Valuing comradery does not make the culture immune to conflict, it simply takes it underground, which can turn a team's atmosphere passive-aggressive and tense. In my experience, there were multiple times that conflict could've been resolved early on by a more experienced manager taking initiative and responsibility for their team, but instead, it was left to fester into a larger issue. Some of the management, while experienced in their line of work, lack leadership skills, using manipulative tactics to control a team instead of direct feedback.

Pros

-Amazing benefits -Transparency from all levels of management -Professional growth budget each year to learn new skills/attend conferences -Very invested in their employees and maintaining retention -Fun events throughout the year to celebrate wins and just to show employee appreciation -Many opportunities to voice your opinion on strengths/weaknesses of the company which they use to make improvements. They are making great strides to listen to their employees and make changes based on feedback -Fun workplace -Very team oriented, everyone supports each other -Dog friendly! -Everyone seems to really enjoy coming to work every day and working hard to help do their part in meeting company goals

Cons

-Not a lot of "middle management" positions to grow into but they are working to change this! -Growing very quickly which has come with a need for growing the headcount. They are working diligently to hire great candidates but until that goal is reached there is a heavy workload in some departments -Very comprehensive hiring process which is great for the company (selective, well-placed candidates) but can be a con if you are expecting an easy hiring process!
