Pros

Some truly wonderful and brilliant folks work here.

Cons

Working at Maru/Matchbox has been by far one of my worst professional experiences. This is a company that is riddled with bureaucracy and a complete lack of investment in the health & growth of younger talent. A top heavy company that cares very little for junior level members, who are often over worked and under supported. I had on occasion witnessed a Director constantly bully, undermine and micromanage myself as well as many of my colleagues. Even after bringing this to the attention of other senior level execs, my grievances were ignored and nothing was done of this. I would urge any applicants to carefully consider working here.
