Pros
Remote work environment. Unlimited PTO. The HR department demonstrated responsiveness by actively addressing employee feedback through engagement surveys. Employees had the opportunity to take on new projects, which added variety and potential for personal growth. Additionally, the company introduced new tools and resources, aiming to enhance productivity and efficiency. However, the execution of these initiatives fell short, rendering them ineffective and failing to make a significant impact.
Cons
Overall, executive management displays poor leadership, constantly shifting priorities, and a lack of transparency for customer-facing teams. Also, the stock-based compensation offered is a joke. Instead of granting stock to deserving managers and contributors, the board and executives opted to literally hire more C-level management, lavishing them with millions in stock compensation, with the misguided belief that one new individual could miraculously save the company (this information is public btw). Moreover, the absence of standardized incentives resulted in unfair treatment regarding bonuses, commissions, and overall expectations across different teams and employees on the same team. Collaboration across departments is abysmal, with little voluntary engagement unless under duress. The company's extremely hierarchical culture hindered decision-making and perpetuated gatekeeping practices, leading to longer than expected timelines across the board. Regrettably, morale throughout the company remains low, with no executives taking responsibility for the situation. Combined with the company's struggling state, this fostered a demoralizing work environment, prompting many experienced individuals to seek greener pastures elsewhere.
