Pros
There are some genuinely good people here. Most coworkers care a lot and try to do their best, even under tough conditions.
Cons
Burnout is real. I’ve seen people pushed past their limits—and not just once or twice. There’s a constant pressure to go above and beyond, and it feels like that’s just quietly expected rather than acknowledged or appreciated. Lots of churn. As is typical with churn, most of the good people leave so not many good people left. What’s been most disheartening is how the founders talk about being principled, but don’t live it—especially when it comes to things like titles. They say they want to keep titles flat and consistent, but then make exceptions when it suits them. The CMO, for example, gets a C-level title, but the rest of the team in that function—no matter how experienced—gets stuck with a generic title. It’s hard not to see it as political. These choices feel unfair and inconsistent, and they hurt the people who aren’t in leadership’s inner circle. There's also a lack of trust in people with real experience. Suggestions are often dismissed, and the same mistakes repeat themselves. It’s frustrating to care deeply and want to help improve things, but not be listened to. Company not good a hiring leadership directly into leadership roles. Look at LinkedIn history on churn - especially leadership churn. Advice to Management Stop saying you're principled if you're not going to follow through. Be honest about how decisions are made. Do a real 360 review and hire a coach.
