The company exists purely to enable to wanderlust of its man-child CEO. He jaunts about Asia, ignoring any and all responsibilities of his duty so he can chase women overseas. The company has no other real reason. They make up false stories about what "technology" they are developing, sell the story to some investors, get enough venture money to disappear for a couple of years, and rinse, repeat some years later. The CEO has a sociopathic charisma and wields it for venture capital fundraising. He is a one-shot wonder who is still capitalizing off of his contribution to web-sockets a great number of years ago. He is not brilliant-- he is just a great liar. He now just takes advantage of eager investors to follow his whims around the world. It's an enviable lifestyle, but as an employee, you will become the victim of it. You exist only to fill the seat to appease some terrible function of this terrible organization. They need some pixels arranged that look like a fairy? Hire a graphic designer, then fire them for any sort of complaint. The people who "work" there all know they are just biding their time until the whole circus is over. This is not a value generating organization-- it is a vehicle for Michael Carter's lust of extravagance.
The nature of this company is clear in these reviews: Anything real is 1 star, anything fake is 5. Anyone who works there and is not part of the original protected outfit will not have kind things to share about this company. Employees are constantly lied to and teased about raises to keep them retained. When employees talk amongst each other, it's clear that *everyone* is aware of how backwards and dysfunctional this place is. And once it's clear to "management" that everyone is on to them, and nearing a revolt, there will be a massive layoff for "restructuring" (as it's communicated to the partner companies overseas).
In the ecosystem of Silicon Valley, this company is a bottom feeder who leeches off the excess protein created by the surrounding environment. It's easy to vend lies and falsehoods to eager investors who want a bite of the SV gold rush and don't do technical diligence or read Glassdoor reviews.
Don't be a victim of this company. It's a band of idiots, and you will only have remorse for the time you spent there that could have been spent elsewhere appreciating your short life. The only reason this company hasn't been completely obliterated by press like that of Theranos is because its work simply isn't important enough. Nobody cares about what they do or make, so they fly under the radar and continue to get away scot-free.
