Pros

Absolutely Zero (unless you are part of the Leadership Team)

Cons

An "Educational" Leadership Style: It is a truly unique opportunity to witness a leadership team operate with such a total lack of traditional strategy or vision. It’s a masterclass in pretending everything is "awesome" while doing everything on the fly. Dynamic Pivot Enthusiasts: You will never be bored because the LT constantly flips their decisions. If you enjoy the "headless chicken" workflow and constant re-work, this is your paradise. A "Visionary" CCO: It’s fascinating to watch the Deputy CEO (as he now calls himself that title) manage the business. He talks a big game about "partnerships" and "revenue," though the actual numbers tell a much quieter story. Meanwhile, the CEO has reached a level of Zen-like detachment, seemingly focused entirely on his next career move. Character-Building Hours: You get the privilege of working like a donkey to fund the LT’s lifestyle and bonuses while you live on peanuts. Staying past 6pm and working during weekends is the "gold standard" here. You’ll be richly rewarded with a verbal shout-out at the standup—just don’t expect that to translate into your bank account. High-Speed Networking: The turnover is so efficient that you’ll meet new colleagues every week or so! Most don’t make it past probation, keeping the "toxic vibe" fresh and the average tenure under a year. The "Inner Bubble" Perk: Career progression is easy—just become a teacher’s pet. As long as you don't ask questions, don't challenge the chaos, and just nod and smile, you’re safe. Thinking for yourself is the fastest way out the door. Creative Accountability: When things go wrong, the LT has a very "communal" approach to finding a scapegoat. It’s a great environment if you enjoy the thrill of potentially being blamed for someone else's bad call. Community Outreach: You can even help the company "curate" its image. Management and HR act as the Glassdoor police, regularly encouraging 5-star "neutralizing" reviews.

Pros

Worst leadership I have ever encountered. When employee surveys are poor enough to warrant mandatory HR interventions, the appropriate response is usually self-reflection from management, not asking employees to become more resilient while continuing to work around the same structural issues. Free coffee doesn't fix that. There are good people here doing their best under difficult circumstances. The frustration comes from watching talented teams repeatedly asked to perform miracles without the resources, authority, or support necessary to succeed. At some point, one has to stop blaming the crew and start looking at the captain and "deputy captain"

Cons

Until leadership is willing to take an honest look at its own role in employee dissatisfaction, I suspect turnover and morale issues will continue. I would caution anyone considering working here to avoid this sinking ship
