Pros

This company had a great culture and an amazing team. Unfortunately, the CEO has no clue what she is doing and has run the company into the ground. She has no problem paying for extravagant company retreats, but will layoff the majority of the workforce without providing any notice or severance. They were hiring new employees within weeks of a mass layoff, which shows just how irresponsible and poorly managed this company is. Then while many of the employees who were laid off without severance were still looking for work they were posting photos of another extravagant retreat the few remaining employees were all treated to.

Cons

Doesn’t provide severance pay to hard working employees who are laid off due to poor management decisions.

Pros

Strong leadership and a team of exceptional people who are both inspiring to work with and work for. A mission-driven organization bringing truly disruptive technology to market.

Cons

With ambitious goals and a mission-driven culture, expectations can be high, which may be challenging for some, but it also provides great opportunities for personal and professional development.

Pros

Those who have left or are planning their exit are united by the shared experience of navigating a sinking ship.

Cons

Toxic Leadership Culture: Management is wildly inconsistent. Directions change by the hour, making it impossible to meet "moving target" goals. There is no long-term vision—only reactive fire-drills. Systemic Gender Bias: If you are a woman, expect to be interrupted, ignored, or talked down to by the executive level. It is very clear that respect is reserved for the "boys' club," regardless of your performance or expertise. Compensation is a Joke: The company expects "rockstar" effort for "entry-level" pay. They are consistently under-market, and there is zero path for merit-based raises. Also, known for wage decreases due to lack of business. The Scapegoat Mentality: You will be blamed for failures caused by poor high-level strategy or technical issues outside of your department. Accountability only flows downward here; leadership never takes responsibility for their own mistakes. Financial Red Flags: Gross mismanagement of company funds. While employees are told there’s no budget for raises or essential tools, money is seemingly incinerated on vanity projects and poor executive decisions.
