Pros

Look at the list of clients and imagine what it’s like to work with them. It’s better. Things are fun because they want to improve morale so every week is a party or team build. This week it’s the movies!

Cons

Having already raised a lot of money the company is looking for more because the CEO blew the Series B in a year. The company is still in single digit millions in revenue. Do that math and realize it’s overspending. The market isn’t strong and Hustle doesn’t have a good product. The most depressing thing about Hustle is a channel called competitors where every week we see companies doing the same thing cheaper, faster or better. Texting is a feature and Hustle should have raised and priced accordingly. The CEO keeps saying it’s getting better and he’s not wrong that product execution and revenue improved in 2019. Doesn’t change the doom. The CEO is a con artist and has likely committed fraud by misleading investors and employees.

Pros

Good medical benefits, flexible time off and sabbatical policy (if you make it that long). Really fun culture and opportunities to get to know people outside of work meetings.

Cons

Stagnant career growth for employees that don't fall in line, huge disconnect between employees and management, vindictive behavior in senior leadership that was never addressed/ignored, poor hiring practices, hiring "experts" with no SaaS experience, fake mission and values, promoting based on tenure not performance, scaling too quickly leading to layoffs in the same year, some leaders within the organization demonstrated inefficiencies in budget management, resulting in the expenditure of over half a million dollars within a single year, and laying off a quarter of the staff six weeks before the end of the year with an insulting severance package. They'll lure you in with their mission, but beware, they're not ingrained in the day-to-day because if it was, all of leadership would be gone.
