Pros

They fired the CTO, who was one major problem (of many).

Cons

The CTO was not the only problem. The CEO has ask employees to write good glassdoor reviews to blame CTO. However, there are many other problems. Two example: hiring use a "bait-and-switch" method where candidates are told they are working on one product (credit building), but when they start, they are told to work on a less desirable product (predatory lending). hiding information about secondary sale of shares, valuation information and exit strategy. CEO will not honestly tell employees when there is a secondary liquidity event, so many employees missed out on opportunity to make some money from the shares.

Pros

CTO left the company, ship is turning around with a new emphasis on culture and values. Change felt very sudden which makes me think this was probably being discussed for a long time - even if it felt very sudden.

Cons

Catering is mid. Waiting for new leadership in product and engineering - the team supposedly will have the chance to talk with any potential leadership but unclear on how they will be vetted.
