As others have stated, Jobscan suffers from a toxic work environment led by an impulsive CEO. He ropes you in with an amicable mission but refuses to lead with integrity and trust, stunting the product’s growth. This environment is fueled by blame shifting behaviors and avoidance, orchestrated by a CEO who is obsessively driven by numbers. Once hired you will quickly understand your role in helping him live a comfortable lifestyle as he cuts tools while you sleep without warning when numbers slip and sets unrealistic expectations once you’re left with scraps to perform your job. He often triangulates out of boredom while he harvests your energy during unpredictable 1:1’s. There are brilliant people on the team hindered by his ego and false sense of reality. He hides behind the word “start up” while the company has been in business since 2014. If you have a strong moral compass, just do yourself a favor and keep searching for a better opportunity, your mental health is more important. The only reason so many people are still putting up with it is because the job market is the worst it’s ever been. For their sake I hope James gets himself some help and starts worrying less about personal gains, recognizes his blessings and focuses more about the mission while treating his employees as human beings instead of pawns on a chess board. Lead by example, you’re literally in the business of landing people jobs.
