Pros

You can learn a lot about SEO here. You can learn about how startups fail. You can learn about people management and what works well, what doesn't work well. You'll probably meet some cool people. You can play ping-pong as many times a day as you want, as long as you hit your numbers.

Cons

The senior management is constantly changing production workflow, employees' job titles and procedures. They give very little training when new versions of the software roll out, and they don't seek users' input on platform development. The CEOs value hold little regard for individual growth, job satisfaction, professional conduct. This company is very good at creating a front-facing image that looks great on paper, but behind the scenes they fail to meet deadlines and are always scrambling to keep their clients. The morale was always low, and as a mid-level manager, I was caught between the senior managers who wanted me to target people to fire - and my team, who wanted to be recognized and fairly paid for their hard work. It was a horrible place to work, but a great place to learn and grow as a human being.

Pros

This is a fast-paced, deadline-driven and fun environment. There is ample opportunity to learn the ins and outs of content marketing and SEO, and hard work is rewarded. They're looking for stars, so if you're looking to coast, this isn't the company for you. I love it here -- great people, and my boss is super easy to work with and very reasonable in regard to work-life balance issues.

Cons

Things change fast here. Industry best practices change rapidly and therefore, so do processes and priorities at this job. if you like that pace, great -- but if you don't like change, then again, this is not the place for you.

Pros

iAcquire has amazing culture and fosters creativity from all employees. The environment is comfortable, flexible and the office is beautiful! Hard work and dedication have always been recognized here. I have been given multiple opportunities that would have not have been available elsewhere. I am grateful for the amount of training and collaboration I have been exposed to. You will learn something new everyday at iAcquire and to me, this is very exciting! iAcquire has the most impressive development/technology team I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Technology issues are resolved quickly and in an orderly fashion. The technology team spends countless hours making our lives better and our day-to-day work easier. They never cease to amaze me!
