      Pros

      Some people are nice. Decent work/life balance for start up. Flexible hours. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      - No diversity: ethnic as well as gender diversity is lacking. - You will be told that you will do 'world-class' work here, but in reality you will do very mediocre work on regular basis. - Upper management is very inexperienced. - Unclean office space... it actually reeks of sweaty people, food and smelly feet, many times toilets are un-flushed. - All the C level executives are micromanagers. - CEO is borderline sexist, bully and micromanager who has unrealistic expectations from his direct reports. He says he wants honest feedback but somehow people who give honest (constructive) feedback find themselves not working there soon enough. As a result, the CEO has collected bunch of old-school, corporate yes-men around himself and wants to hear only what he loves to hear. - Lack of planning and continuous shifting priorities - Big talk, big promises but no delivery: for clients as well as employees - Very low standards on all fronts - No career growth path - Non-existent HR - BRO culture

      Hello-- I appreciate your feedback and I hope you have shared it directly with your manager. You can also reach out directly to me-- while our HR team is small, we work really hard to make ourselves available to all employees. Your review brings up a number of issues and this isn't the forum to thoroughly respond to them. I would like to point out though that we are working very hard on the diversity issue, both to support our underrepresented team members and also to recruit more minority candidates to join our team. We also put a lot of effort into parting with our employees respectfully and with care, and I encourage you again to reach out to me if your experience doesn't align with that value, as I take it very seriously.

      Hearing this from someone in Finance, where the work is demanding and the margin for error is small, genuinely means a lot. The fact that you're experiencing the culture as values-driven and not just values-stated is exactly what we're working hard to build. The pace is real and so is the opportunity, and we're glad that combination is landing as energizing rather than exhausting. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

      Pros

      - good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

      Cons

      - burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
