Pros

Cool business model. Lots of talented, nice people work there aside from upper management.

Cons

- Lack of expertise in leadership. - No meaningful upward movement. - No meaningful equity. - Huge disconnect between expectations (hours worked, revenue targets, etc..) and compensation. - Volatile hiring/layoff processes. - Overly complex internal bureaucracy keeping reps from performing. (A clear symptom of inexperienced management.) - Inappropriate language and emotional reactions from leadership, particularly from the CEO. - Very little diversity in talent that is seemingly intentional to keep subordinate employees around. - Rejection of opinions and recommendations from employees unless it comes from upper management.

Pros

The people. The team at soona has been one of the most supportive and inspiring collection of people I've met. I enjoyed my work as a Production Manager producing photo and video shoots.

Cons

As with most start ups, the atmosphere can be strained with high output.

Pros

Base salary, remote work, can get commissions too.

Cons

Wants you to exceed expectations without management support. Toxic positivity was too much makes you wanna vomit! Management reacts aggressively to criticism. And then fire people for commenting and saying their grievances out loud!
