Hire way too much from outside and not promote successful employees from within. Not much space for moving up/quick to max out your level depending on the team. Low pay relative to market (received ~$40k raise after leaving). Hiring employees that don't care or are flat-out incapable of doing their job... asking "captains" to help manage teams without providing a pay bump. People just not knowing how to do their job was an epidemic. Unacceptable communication from C-suite when PTO and work from home was revamped or taken away entirely.
Non-exempt hourly vs exempt salaried employees have different benefits including how PTO is accumulated (it was this way at least 6 months ago when I left). Cutesy, dressed up language that startups love to use to skirt answering questions or providing real, tangible solutions to problems. People sensitive to feedback or constructive criticism, felt like working with kids at times. Work processes very messy and changing each week with no heads up. Will act like a startup still, but c'mon, either learn to run a business or sell.
It's hard to describe every little thing that went downhill for this place over time. For those that don't know, you get a month sabbatical at your 5 year anniversary. Why would you want to miss that?! I left right after my 5 year with little consideration to take the sabbatical. That's all you should need to know.
