Pros
- Flexible job description and ability to grow depending on role (and current standing with leadership) - Decent benefits and overall work logistics flexibility for those not focused directly on production operations - Interesting science and products that actually do some good
Cons
- Cliquey and immature leadership culture that ruled by intimidation and public humiliation - A lot of thrash in key decision making that’s not focused on the science, but rather how to make a quick buck - Inadequate People Ops support (also due to interference from leadership) - Overall ignorance of how to run a sustainable business—along with an unwillingness to listen to more experienced opinions outside of the C-level leaders and advisors - Poor executive planning often leading to fire drills and unnecessary stress - Constant revolving door of mid to senior management and VP leadership roles due to bad hiring and/or differences of opinion with founders that could not be reconciled
