Beware of these fake 5 star reviews. Within my first 2 weeks they had asked me to write a 5 star review for them. These are flooded by execs and new starters who aren't fully absorbed in this job yet, trying to cover up the real reviews. Please filter these out by the lowest rating to get the best overview of this place. There is absolutely NO work/life balance and they don’t care about it at all. They use the fact that this is a startup as an excuse, but it should not be an excuse. There are late night and weekend meetings, often last minute. They don't care if you're east coast or not, they will often call you late into the night. This just always puts you on edge. The CEO specifically demands these late night meetings because we need to work with HIS schedule, not anyone else's. It's especially frustrating when he doesn't even end up attending them. I've also seen people being called into meetings while they're on PTO. They literally don't care what you have going on in your life. This place is toxic from the top down. There is no accountability at the top. They're always right and you're always wrong. Your opinion means nothing and they gaslight you all the time. The CEO insults you and screams at people in meetings. He leads by fear. He has NO trust in his employees and tells you what to do and you're expected to do it. Most of these late night or weekends meetings are because he doesn't trust that you're doing your job so he wants you to put together slides/proof to show everything you did. And then he makes you re-do it because nothing is ever good enough. He basically runs every department himself and a CEO should never be this involved. Everything also has to be approved by him and someone else in product - there is so much bottleneck. They can't let go and trust the department heads actually run their department. Half the time you're performing fire drills and the other half you're trying to catch up on your other responsibilities. This place is a revolving door - people just quit or get fired. And the CEO is completely aware of the culture but in his words, "If you don’t like it, then leave." I've never seen a company that treats their employees this poorly, especially by the CEO himself. Stay far away from this place. It is as hostile and toxic as it gets.
