Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

The basic problem is that the leadership is clueless and each having a certain siloed vision. Unfortunately they haven't taken into account market dynamics, competition where the Markets are already penetrated. The leadership got Series C last year and without well thought business plan and rationale they just hired multiple folks across multiple rounds and post that multiple rounds of layoffs. Some of these had just joined in weeks. This clearly shows immaturity and no trust. The leadership had mentioned in Nov/Dec that there will be no more layoffs and then there was one more in Jan. Also global teams with siloed departments have hampered honest communication. Everyone is trying to do what they want rather than what is needed together. Only very few people in the company have knowledge and they have become bottlenecks as they haven't put any process in enabling others for the same. No AI in the product as claimed. Suggest to stay away.

Pros

I have been very impressed with the recent steps taken to bolster the team and the foundation. There seems to be a very positive momentum and I can see the maturity curve.

Cons

We seem to be in the middle of the scale up storm. Prioritization will be key.

Pros

The base salary and bonus they offer you before they lay you off within 6 months

Cons

Have no idea how the CEO of this company is a CEO for ANY company. He is less knowledgeable than the SC's on his own solution. They promise you a certain amount of money for bonuses and then never pay them out. The management here is very unprofessional with extremely poor leadership skills. Within the first week of working here, they FORCED us to give them a 5 star review on Glassdoor. Insanity. I do NOT recommend working here, ever.
