Pros

I don't see any Pros, company is going down and under

Cons

99x is a disaster, the so-called CEO, he’s more interested in pretending he’s the Elon Musk of AI than actually leading. He doesn’t run the company, he runs his mouth seizing every opportunity to yap about artificial intelligence while the real work and real problems get ignored. Then we have the part-time pizza shop owner turned to full-time micromanager who spends more time smoking rather than working. He’s installed desktop monitoring tools treating developers like hourly wage staff working at his shop instead of professionals. Productivity isn’t built on paranoia. And finally, we have our dear old CFO the king of financial disasters. His decisions have dragged the company to the brink. it’s a miracle he’s still employed. quietly pocketing the port city tax proportion which should be rightfully returned to staff as benefits is being embezzled to fund P. Jerome’s evangelical ventures. Employees have received nothing in return. not even the basic annual trip, No Bonuses, only cheap thrills. That’s how low things have sunk.

At 99x, we respect feedback, but we will not engage with or validate commentary that targets individuals or spreads unsubstantiated claims. We make decisions collectively, drawing on decades of industry experience and a strong commitment to the long-term success of the company and its people. This company has grown and thrived for over 20 years by upholding transparency, collaboration, and professionalism and, not by relying on any single individual, but by working together as a team. That will continue to be our path forward.
