Stay Away from Corporate Marketing, if Possible

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Multi-cultural environment - Flexible approach to work hours - Dynamic work routine and a relative degree of autonomy - Seems like a great place for engineers and developers

Cons

- While IT, developers, and product groups seem happy, Corporate Marketing has had the lowest employee satisfaction rates in the company for several years running. And it's a well-known issue. - Too much politics and internal battles in this specific department - Very few actual marketing specialists - The environment in the department is high-strung and directionless - The directors are allowed to browbeat and intimidate their reports - Lack of clear career path and training
