Pros

-The team: minus the CEO and CTO, leadership is strong with solid big tech experience; top-down, the kindest and most fun, supportive teammates -Head of People is cultivating a solid in office culture where the entire team enjoys lunch and happy hours together which is amazing especially for those tired of working exclusively remote -Lots of runway with recent fundraise -As a saving grace, Workstream has at least one competent founder, the CPO

Cons

-Currently no clear strategy on how to win in this macro environment; both LTV and CAC need serious improvement -Team morale is low and has not recovered since layoffs 6 months ago -CEO is a serial narcissist who fails to listen to his more seasoned leadership team and protects his image by writing fake positive reviews about himself -Tech debt and development velocity is the worst you’ll see for a Series B startup bc we don’t have a real CTO

Pros

- Generally high level of ownership and autonomy - Pay is fair for the right role/location - Culture of honest and open feedback - Startup/small company facilitates exposure to/learning about many business functions + sometimes senior leadership team/founders

Cons

- Benefits are weak (generally expected for a startup) - Lack of mature internal processes - Lack of development/coaching for early career talent (but the right self-starter personality can definitely still thrive)
