Pros
Mailchimp is a great company in many respects. It pays competitively, benefits are pretty good. However, if you are qualified to work here you can probably find a better employer. Once human-centric, Mailchimp has been purchased by Intuit and the changes have been drastic. Much of our experienced talent with specialized knowledge has left. The direction of the company has changed greatly and is largely being pushed in the direction of making quarterly profits. The work is still okay but the culture has changed a lot and continues to change to match its new Fortune 500 leadership.
Cons
The human cost of being acquired has been great. People are getting worked much harder than before and many deadlines are mounting up and becoming impossible. The fun quirky perks that made Mailchimp a nice and fun place to work are gone. You can probably find a better employer if you're qualified to work here. That used to not be the case.
