Consulting business model; untrustworthy founder - Software Engineer Usage AI Employee Review

Very serious team. Lots of action. Management are highly skilled professionals. Engineering are all 10x. The COO is a very very handsome guy who is very well dressed. Fast paced team. Action packed.

The CEO is a keyboard warrior who watches Family Guy for the majority of the work day. He also repeats jokes he heard from the much funnier COO, albeit his delivery is not as funny.

- Strong initial compensation package - Good initial vision for the company with a solid plan - Some genuinely talented colleagues

CEO displayed textbook toxic management style - due to lack of self esteem and lack of experience working in a professional workplace. CEO would love-bomb new hires then completely turn on them within months once the honeymoon period was over. Required constant ego stroking from employees and would throw tantrum-like fits if spotlight wasn't constantly on them. Pitted employees against each other for personal entertainment Used information shared in confidence as ammunition later Changed narrative of events to always paint themselves as hero/victim Could never admit mistakes - always someone else's fault Obsessed with appearing successful on social media while company struggled Required staff to constantly praise their "visionary leadership" in public channels Would play XBox for the majority of the day in the office Often Smashed up laptops when team members disagreed with his ideas Would routinely hide team members possessions around the office so they weren't able to leave the office at at the end of the day
