Pros

Contributed to diverse problems Given large responsibility Team members were skilled and capable Team members come from 3 different continents Great collaboration in planning responsibilities with managers Revenue margins secured the company for a reasonable time without relying on fundraising Base compensation package has drastically improved to match competitive market Customer experience is prioritized and considered frequently

Cons

Low visibility for IC's on company forecast Broken mission/vision statement Culture openly and verbally does not support "work/life balance" Benefits outside of base compensation have deteriorated or been taken away in the past year CEO is impersonal and rarely uses established leadership funnel to communicate Stale fundraising over the past 2 years have put extreme pressure on BizDev and Product/Eng to sell and build new products Frequent turnover or unexpected layoffs of top talent and culture contributors

Pros

Used to be a lot, now there are none

Cons

New management has no idea what they are doing. The team is unengaged and leaving en masse. Absolutely no trust between the team and management. Don't just avoid at all costs, run as fast as you can away from these people.
