- It's felt slightly disorganized at times, but seems like meaningful strides are being made

The engineers are a great group, genuinely really friendly, and the location is nice.

Leadership is largely inexperienced yet can be very arrogant especially in engineering. The CEO seems to intentionally put inexperienced people in charge to maintain authority and control without being challenged. He can be extremely patronizing to women in particular and upholds the behavior of two newer hires who have multiple complaints for harassment and bullying. He constantly looks to impress them and will do anything to be liked. The environment smacks of junior high rather than a professional workplace. There is absolutely no professional development or training. You're expected to learn everything ad-hoc without a peer mentor which means nobody ever has the full picture. The CTO is very difficult to get ahold of and management in general needs to be followed up with constantly. If you bring this up you'll be told you need to be in person more while they'll be WFH or leaving early. There are no defined responsibilities across the c-suite so there is plenty of political chaos. The CEO loves the phrase "national leading expert" to describe people who bully others and have dubious value add but play a part in his court of admirers. The company lacks direction and is making multiple hail mary-esque decisions to try to look productive but their reputation is suffering externally. Shady people, in-office affairs. There are real ethical concerns here.
