Pros
The mission is strong and the product will likely be successful.
Cons
The cofounder publicly shames underperforming individuals, stating once that children were dying as a direct result of a team's performance and threatening to fire team members as his LinkedIn inbox is filled with other people that are eager for the role. Hiring practices are discriminatory, for certain teams, executive leadership will not allow people that were impacted by layoffs or have "open to work" banners on LinkedIn. Within my company tenure, the company turned over an Executive VP of Recruitment, Head of Recruitment, Director of Recruitment, VP of Strategy, VP of Commercial Strategy, Director of Growth Strategy, VP of Engineering, Chief Product Officer, Senior Director of Product, and countless managers and individual contributors. Performance expectations are unrealistically high, causing constant stress and a poor work-life balance. I've worked at other startups, and KPIs are between 3-5x higher at Charlie Health.
