Pros
I absolutely respect and admire our leadership team. They really do care about the employees and the company. Humble is a rare company that actually lives and breath it's values and mission! Humble leadership team uses the company values and mission to make decisions to the best of their ability. I have witnessed the leadership team be very thoughtful and considerate about how things are managed/handled. We are really lucky to have a mature, non-egotistical and unselfish leadership team who are not out for more power and themselves. They genuinely care about their people and do best by them. Humble just recently overhauled our Anniversary program and updated our perks based on employee feedback. I I have never witnessed a company put so much thought and time into ensuring our benefits reflected what employees want, while incorporating our company values. Ex: Employees get to pick from a handful of gift options, along with each gift being associated with a Force for Good (BIPOC Founded, Social Impact Driven, Sustainable, Female Founded, LGBQT+ Founded, Small Business, etc.). The people at Humble are amazing too! Everyone is busy but we are all working towards similar goals and willing to help each other. I truly enjoy going to work (Remotely) everyday.
Cons
There are always pros and cons to having a parent company (Ziff Davis) when you are the size of Humble Bundle. Perk - You typically get better benefits overall because they can get better deals across their portfolio than Humble could by itself. However, the Con is that the parent company controls your budget for funding headcount, raises, projects etc. I think it is especially difficult because Humble is unique regarding the type of business we are within their portfolio. There is no other company like us. There have been a lot of changes since I started at the company (Good and tough changes) but the leadership has tried their best to manage it as best as they can. Sometimes leaders have to make tough discussions for the health of the company. The layoffs that we have endured have been hard on both those immediately impacted and those who remained but when you have worked for a handful of companies - it's the way of life (however that doesn't lessen the impact). At least I can honestly say the Humble Leadership tried to handle it with thoughtfulness and kind and that should say a lot with regarding to how other companies have been handled these types of decisions.
