Pros

Lots of snacks. Smart coworkers. Nice offices.

Cons

Where to begin... You will work with a lot of very smart people, but the amount of ego here is incredible. They think by hiring smart people that will make a great business but they forget to give them defined rolls and direction. And that all starts at the top. This company is one of the most poorly run businesses I've been apart of. The CEO is basically checked out. There is a lot of turnover in executive positions. 3 CFO's in 2 years. No head of HR for over a year. 3 execs lead the technology organization with not one being in charge. People's rolls are blurry at best and there is a lot of unnecessary crossover and confusion about where responsibility should land. They went on a huge hiring spree when the company was booming and even after a few layoffs they still have way too many people. So many people just seem to float around and get in the way. Making matters worse, a lot of these people have very inflated titles which makes telling them to stay in their lane more difficult. This company HAD huge potential and still could be a decent company but there is just leadership and desire to do what is necessary. Joe should step aside and get a fresh set of eyes on the business. On top of this, there is no discernible culture or vision.

We are excited by the new energy and strength of the leaders brought in to take a high growth company about to celebrate 10 years, to the next level. And it’s working. We are having one of our best years ever. The skill sets of our leadership team allow us to empower senior staff and allow Joe and Mike (CEO & President) to be actively engaged behind the scenes. People can work hard, be challenged with tough problems to solve, grow and develop, and have real impact. Our collaborative culture means that our Head of Engineering, Chief Product Officer and CTO partner closely and work to run tech with a singular vision and culture. It keeps us aligned, focused and more efficient. - Gloria
