Pros

Max is an incredible CEO and believes in the company mission.

Cons

Little to no leadership from direct management and initiates are all reactive. Very little proactive efforts and little to no direction. They don't use OKR's, KPI's or define any kind of benchmark goals other than "reaching profitability". Hired as part of an acquisition with no thought from leadership on how I would fit in or what I would be doing.
