Blind leading the blind

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

A reasonable work life balance. A number of truly talented workers.

Cons

The C-team is inexperienced and hence oblivious of how to financially and strategically run a business. Company vision is actively shared and therefore transparent but is often vague and inaccurate. Favoritism is prevalent, career development is a joke, and communication is nonexistent. Expressing negative feedback and dissenting opinions are viewed as inappropriate and ill-mannered. Management will only value you on your ability to comply. Work is never accredited to the correct people and there's no true ownership of anything. Management is completely ignorant of how anything really works and therefore incompetent in making decisions.

disorganized leadership with no vision

Pros

Lots of room for ownership- because no one is paying attention.

Cons

Leadership's vision for the company is always "transparent" in that they share it with us, but it is never what actually comes to fruition- and the change is never explained well or accurately. There isn't enough role clarity among leadership and so decisions are never made reliably without another member of the leadership team undoing it.

Beautiful product and big opportunity ahead

Pros

- elegant designs and interesting partnerships - loyal customers/users - values self-expression both for users and employees - work life balance, especially compared to other NY startups - recognizing flaws and looking to fix them - shifting to going back to the "startup" days with more working across teams (vs. in silos) - new focus will allow for bigger opportunities for both the product/platform and the employees - leadership has become open to more feedback and have been asking for it more frequently and from all employees

Cons

- going through major changes right now, in strategy and structure, which can feel confusing at times and lead to some anxiety - recent layoff led to a morale dip, and we are trying to start the new chapter with greater alignment but won't be an easy shift, especially given the family feel of the culture - product and engineering haven't worked smoothly in the past with other teams but moving towards working together better
