Pros

Cant think of any. They lure you in, leading you to believe they know what they are doing, and will be creating something that will "change the world"...But do your homework. Ask to see roadmaps. Reach out to past employees, and ask about their experience there. Ask to see finances or even a dam org chart! This guy has started and failed a number of different companies, and is frog-leaping cities to run from them.

Cons

This company has zero shot of succeeding. Its sucks that they are able to convince smart, talented people to join this company. Some families relocate and sacrifice so much, and in my short time there, I saw multiple people fired without any conversation before hand. Most of the talented people leave within a few weeks, as soon as they realize the shitshow that is going on. They have no HR function. No org chart. No Levels. No bonuses. Equity is Nothing. Its literally 3 guys reading books on tech companies, then trying to implement what they read or saw on the latest tech startup documentary. I feel so bad for anyone who leaves a stable job or turns down other offers to join here. Ive seen them literally pay to relocate people to work on a "Start up launch idea". only to scrap it 2 weeks after they start, and then fire them because "they dont have anything from them to do now"... Most people work here for such a short amount of time, they dont even include the blimp that is rex on their linkedin or resume bc its embarrassing. So you cant even find half the people that were fired or quit... PLEASE JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH! TRUST YOUR GUT! I should have known the moment I had an onsite at a low end apartment complex, where they were scrambling to find a room with a chair, and who I was supposed to be meeting with, that this place has no idea what they are doing. OH and the :WHO DEEP DIVE...INSANE lol they found that in a book as well...lmao

Pros

Rex is an early age startup. Opportunity for growth is great, and if you are performing, I've seen you tend to get promoted relatively quickly. You learn a lot here and it's really sink or swim. If you're a hard worker and true hustler (most people here are) you'll do well here, and your hard work will be noticed. I really enjoy working here, and I can definitely see myself here for a while.

Cons

I think Pete (the CEO) is a super cool guy and a great leader, overall. But I think the videos he makes can sometimes really not place the company in the best light. In my opinion, the videos are just a bit on the extreme side and can be almost childlike at times with the content in some of them. I think he wants them to come off as comical and relatable, but a lot of them don't. He speaks about religion wayyyy too often (and this is coming from someone who is also a Christian). Super controversial topics don't really belong on LinkedIn, but he continues to spit out these videos like crazy. I don't think it's the best look for investors and may even be a turnoff to some. Another thing I think leadership can do better at is how they let people go. You never want to burn bridges with people. I've seen that happen a few times here. I know there are two sides to every story, but leadership has got to be better with just letting people go with absolutely no warning or real cause.
