The worst CEO in a crisis, ever

Pros

Colleagues are bright, hard-working and generous. Software we produce is decent and customers are easy for a developer to understand and love.

Cons

Horrible, non-competitive benefits. If you are considering a family, ask about family leave, laugh, and run away. A culture that runs so lean it exhausts good people by making everyone do the job of 2 people. A CEO who preaches gospel over the holidays in inappropriate company-wide emails, mentions a "coronavirus vacation" when explaining why he is reticent to have anyone work from home, and gives the same speech at every all hands about how we need to become a $3 billion company. Dude, those may be your goals, but you are incredibly disheartening and uninspiring for your employees.

Pros

SE mgmt is very accommodating, expectations are reasonable, and there is a lot of variety in the tech stack so, always something new to learn!

Cons

Upper management is a bit old-school for a tech company, but nothing egregious.
