Pros
Some of the people are great - but a lot of the people who were great to work with have left. Have the opportunity to be at the cusp of a growing industry.
Cons
The CEO needs to go. He is the root of all issues. He is a child, and this is his first job. It's no wonder the company is run like a circus. As a high level, there is proof of the CEO: - Lying to employees - Bullying employees - Sexist behaviour - Almost bankrupting the company - Placing his personal needs above company needs - Forcing people to work after hours or during holidays due to his lack of planning and needing things urgently - Injecting himself into projects unnecessarily, causing longer turnarounds for tasks - Wasting employees' time rushing and working after-hours for tasks just to change his mind - Spending company money trying to fire people who oppose him - Firing people who are vocal about how bad he is (others have just left) - When approached with real feedback, says he will be better, and then not change at all - Engaging vendors and refusing to pay them - Uses the fact that he "used to be a lawyer" as a way to promote himself, meanwhile he was never an actual lawyer - Not doing the proper strategic research to make decisions - In general being very immature when faced with conflict and overcompensating for his lack of work experience by power tripping for using his "legal expertise" as a way to confuse and shut down people I believe the CEO is a psychopath and is not fit to be in this position. It ruins all of our work and morale just having him walk in the room. He brings negative value to the company and boasts his ability to bring in investments should be impressive - however that is his only reason and anyone with business sense can do this task. The CEO's behaviour is notorious in the industry and there have and seems to be multiple legal ramifications for his actions.
