Pros

Exposure to E-commerce: Working at Pattern can provide valuable experience in the fast-paced and dynamic e-commerce industry

Cons

I'm disappointed to say that my experience at Pattern has been overwhelmingly negative. The company culture is dominated by a small group of narcissistic leaders who prioritize their own egos over the well-being of employees. The CEO, CFO and CTO, in particular, exhibit a complete disregard for women in the workplace, creating a hostile and unwelcoming environment. The leadership team is overwhelmingly white and male, with women relegated to roles of little authority. This lack of diversity and inclusion is a major issue that needs to be addressed. If you're considering a job at Pattern, I strongly advise you to think twice. The toxic work environment and lack of opportunities for women make it a place to avoid.

Pros

Incredible experience. I thought I'd be here for life but other opportunities arose. Management does care about your progress and they care about their employees. In my 10 year career they are by far the best employer I've worked for

Cons

1) Moving goal posts. Businesses change and I got put into a position I didn't sign up for. 2) There are only so many roles, if you can't get them, a natural consequence is turnover to competitors/other opportunities.
