Startup rollercoaster, cool mission - Senior Product Manager PublicSquare Employee Review

Great values aligned team that works hard and can have some fun doing it.

There is a lot of adapting to new things that are constantly evolving.

As a whole, the work environment is good. Every interaction I had with co-workers was great. There is something to be said about working with like minded individuals. The remote environment worked well because working for PublicSquare you really feel like a part of a family. The CEO is a hype man and this fuels the overall team energy. I think deep down they are good people and hope they can get past their growing pains but I have my doubts in their ability to do this.

We were required to be in so many meetings everyday that it interfered with our other duties. There is so much wasteful spending at this company I can only imagine the impact it had on the bottom line. Mismanagement of money will ultimately be the downfall if not remedied. Here you have a “start-up” operating on investment dollars yet they take lavish leadership retreats, expensive dinners, and constant unnecessary travel. They up and decided to leave our location in California then flew people out to them constantly. They spend an ungodly amount of money on promoters that they can not retain good talent to help the company grow. They constantly speak against using Amazon and big box stores but they all shop these places daily. The products on their own website are so expensive, there is no advantage to shopping on it. They talk about growing American businesses but their diapers are made in Mexico.
