Pros

Decent pay, nice benefits, pleasant coworkers.

Cons

As a VC-funded company, Moz basically needs to either IPO or be acquired. Unfortunately, the company has been stagnant for years, and neither outcome is likely at this point. Instead, they just keep stumbling along, trying to find some magic switch they can flip that will suddenly turn on the growth that has been lacking for so long. Management seems to be getting more desperate, and as part of their strategy to either cut costs or pivot the company, throughout 2018 there was basically a stealth layoff. A few people quietly trickled out every week or two for months on end. There's nowhere to really advance your career within the company once you're there. Expect to just stagnate in the same role until you either get the ax or you find a better opportunity elsewhere.

Pros

Strong company culture that values innovation, collaborative teams with smart colleagues, access to cutting-edge SEO tools, supportive leadership that encourages learning, and plenty of opportunities to work on impactful projects.

Cons

Processes can feel slow at times for decision-making, workload spikes during product launches, some departments operate in silos despite efforts at alignment, compensation could be more competitive for the industry, and remote work policies were occasionally inconsistent.
