Pros

Startup perks like stocked kitchen, unlimited PTO and every day is different

Cons

Culture is one of "compliance" where you're expected to blindly follow anything that leadership tells you to do. Dissenting opinions will quickly get you classified as "not a team player" and you will quickly lose the opportunity to work on anything of value. Leadership will interpret feedback the way that best suits them and isn't open to hearing anything that might contradict what they already believe. Top Heavy leadership with a Sr. Director or Director for every department without enough middle management leaders or workers to execute the actual work. A lot of nepotism when it comes to hiring Directors, Sr. Directors and C-Suite. C-Suite is filled with people too incompetent to make the right business decisions and too arrogant to listen to the talent around them. Meetings never start or end on time. This is the culture that's been established regardless of the time management seminar that everyone is expected to take. HR emails are very aggressive in tone.

We take all feedback seriously and yours will be passed on to our leadership. The truth is that being a part of a rapidly growing company that is young and still building infrastructure is not for everyone. Hiring senior leaders for each area who have the ability to grow the business function as we rapidly expand is part of our strategy. We are continually developing and preparing others to move into the middle management roles. So while we have gaps, it is part of our strategy and value proposition that we realize causes some short term pain. With regard to nepotism among the top leaders, it appears you have been misinformed. None of our top leaders (Director and above) are related to each other. We actually have a policy in place to ensure this.
