Pros

Joining CommentSold four years ago was a remarkable experience, marked by a warm and genuine atmosphere among colleagues and customers. The initial enthusiasm was fostered by upper management's appreciation, evident in generous bonuses and giveaways.

Cons

As economic challenges unfolded, exacerbated by events like the pandemic, the company responded by adjusting strategies. Unfortunately, this led to the decision to replace the owner and C-Level execs, including the visionary Brandon Kruse. The transition brought significant changes, with the introduction of Gautam Goswami as the new leader. While change is inevitable, there have been concerns about a perceived shift in the company's culture. Some describe Gautam as abrasive, and social media platforms echo sentiments of unhappy customers. Internal discussions among staff and feedback from past employees further highlight discontent. As prominent figures departed, the watercooler talk turned somber, with expressions of dissatisfaction toward The Board, Gautam, and others. Despite claims of resolving spending issues, recent layoffs indicate ongoing challenges. The decision to replace Brandon Kruse has left many questioning the net benefit of the leadership change. In addressing my disappointment, I'd like to express profound gratitude to Brandon Kruse for initiating the success story that seems to have taken an unfortunate turn. Working under his leadership was an honor, and I sincerely hope the company can rediscover its former success while retaining the positive aspects of its unique culture.

Pros

There are no pros anymore, not since the new CEO/CFO took over.

Cons

Everything. They have taken away benefits, lied to their employees, replacing them with people offshore. Lost quality of the product we built up and sold billions of dollars of GMV on, employees and shops are jumping ship.

Pros

You get to work remotely. Product is in a interesting market at the intersection of social media and e-commerce.

Cons

CEO has an obvious disdain for most people. The core strategy is chaotic and never followed for more than a few weeks at a time. Given that the leadership is fully beholden to Private Equity incentives, there are probably only 10-15 roles in the company that are truly safe and most of them start with a C.
