      Great team, terrible leadership

      Pros

      - ICs and middle management are great; very talented and impact-oriented, with strong teamwork - Tech stack is good, leveraging off-the-shelf products when possible so the team focuses on building actually novel stuff

      Cons

      - CEO is toxic and ineffective. He won't listen to constructive feedback and cancels 1:1s and other meetings to avoid hearing any criticism. - There's no sales organization, just a business development team that is constantly selling new products that the engineering team has to whip up. Lots (most?) of these projects never actually launch because deals don't get signed. This is a big cause of burnout. - The Board doesn't seem to have any involvement in the company, so leadership is never held to account. - Leadership keeps fundraising without a clear long-term profitability strategy. - Any push back on projects is seen as a failure of the engineering team to do their jobs.

      Boiler room culture

      Pros

      With a gleaming look from the outside, anyone doing business within the digital health industry is poised for success. There are vibrant employees at Color that carry their work with passion; they hide in their own right, never to let anyone in, and when you get to talk to them, they might either treat you OK or respond in short sentences to show that you're an inconvenience to them. See below.

      Cons

      What can I tell you? You get a dash of COVID-19 with a desire to prove relevance, and you end up with a level of intensity that not even COVID itself can surpass. I reported to a manager interested in nitpicking the semantics, often confrontational (calling you "unproductive") about some of the most trivial topics, would spend little to no time in a 1:1 meeting. Thankfully, they, as well as myself, are no longer there, so there is hope. However, the hope diminishes with the company's strategy to fight over the breadcrumbs in what seems to be a vertical market. It always seems to be tense, and anyone who questions why is quickly told, "it doesn't look good for you politically to examine XYZ."
