Pros

The junior and mid-level employees are great to hang around with. Customer support staff and sales are a very talented group.

Cons

Poor technology stack. Both Apple and Google see ZERO value in their service. Very poorly managed. The CTO doesn't come to work half the time. The CEO lives in Malibu and just visits a couple times a week. They are basically living on borrowed money. Have never had a profitable quarter (except 1) in 7 years. Most employees just come to work for the paycheck. Zero passion for the product.

Pros

Good culture in certain areas of the department. Snacks, though you lack the management in this. Employee benefits. Catered lunches.

Cons

A CTO that is trying to replace the CEO. To put it into perspective, a great project manager that was making the company transparent left because the CTO could not learn how to play nice. There is no direction and no one to lead them. Many people have tired to paint a picture for the C-level, but they are stubborn and do not care to grow the company within. Employees have tried to explain and clarify issues, but there is no voice here. The voice comes from the CTO. CTO, stick to your job and manage your team. Learn to focus on your role and nothing else. CEO, listen to your people. The reason they bother you so much is because they care. If nobody cared they would have been long gone by now. Be the project manager, be the leader that the company needs because your CTO is poisoning the company. You have a team that cares, put it to use.
