Great technology but needs better leadership

Pros

Smart co-workers. Good benefits including unlimited PTO. Great, impactful product. Pay is good

Cons

The leadership isn't doing a great job providing clear direction and guidance. They give vague requests without any useful suggestions on how to actually get things done, probably because they don't know themselves. Morale is terrible with lots of talented people are leaving, layoffs, and no new funding. It feels like everyone's just sticking around because the job market's rough right now. Some managers think they're better than people who don't have advanced degrees even though if they have plenty of experience, and they don't listen to their ideas. The work environment is pretty toxic overall mainly because of the leadership team

Pros

Coworkers are nice and friendly

Cons

The current CEO can't perform the job requirements. He doesn't know what leadership means and has no vision. If Karius fails, the CEO will contribute to 99% of the cause.
