Pros
Smart, talented, warm people pass through here. Some awesome co-workers and amazing events. It really can be a delightful place to work
Cons
This was an organization I was really happy to join- and it USED to be a dynamic and seemingly growing agency. But without a functional upper management, people have been pouring out of here and (some of) the people left behind are not experienced enough to manage. I have never seen attrition at an agency like I've seen here, and ChaiOne really attracts some amazing talent. It just cannot keep it for more than a year or two (max). Because the CEO is rarely around and checked in, one shady upper manager really took advantage of the lack of oversight for a while and basically did almost nothing to collect his salary. His half-baked "I went to business school" ideas resulted in more bureaucracy, and none of it lasted. There was almost no followthrough on anything he did. I'm sure he was making 6 figures for that. After watching a nearly a colleague a week resign, I'm looking too.
