Pros
Good people at your level and below, but that’s about it
Cons
Knew I was in trouble when a leadership meeting was kicked off with a Bible verse. The best member of the C-suite, the only one who knew what they were trying to achieve, left and everything careened downhill at a breakneck speed from there. The rest of the leadership team have egos more fragile than glass, so be warned: Do not push back ever or you WILL lose your job, sooner rather than later. They pride themselves on not accepting bigger loans from banks and firms, being real bootstrapped grinders, but the truth is these folks laugh them out of the room for having no idea how to position the business. Are you a podcast? A creative services firm? A training platform? Instead, they take money from customers and give them empty promises and constant product pivots in return. Every choice and philosophy is unoriginal and half-baked to boot, stolen from the latest rise-and-grind podcast or self-help book they find. It's no surprise these ideas don't work because they have no patience to test and observe data, just changing trajectory — e.g. new processes, entirely new products — on a whim when they don't have immediate results. And, again, if you question these choices, you're iced out then removed with no provocation. No variable bonus, no stock options, no vision, no idea how to grow, no identity, and never push back against leadership because they only want yes men or else you’re out.
