Pros

Inspiring CEO who seems to care about what is best for the customers and creating a quality product that serves them is trying to instill proactive change across leadership team and create best framework for decision making and communications across company

Cons

My observations so far = seems like we are still ways away from creating a safe and productive environment for employees to be able to reach their potential HR seems to be in a constant state of disarray. Maybe because company is growing so fast but there seem to be noticeable cases of people leaving within a short period after their start. But nobody talks about what we’re doing to solve for this. Teams across the board seem understaffed, reactive, and lack clear leadership from a senior-middle management perspective CEO is making an effort for better transparency at the top but the way communications gets cascaded through the next ranks has been weird. It feels like there are still a lot of “he said she said” and “closed door communications”. The work environment feels inefficient and has eroded trust in managers. Misalignment and tension amongst senior leadership causes disruption to work for the rest of the team. Work gets delegated that is not necessarily in the best interest of the customer but out of pressure to pump out sales ...fast. Lack of transparency on hiring on a team level. It’s like hunger games. One day you have headcount and then you don’t. It’s all so mysterious. And puts you on edge. Makes you feel like a number and a nameless employee. Lack of diversity compared to other companies No clear career development plans or investment
