Pros

Location, some nice coworkers, snacks

Cons

The only thing this company is empowering is the nepo baby CEO's wallet. Catty, narcissistic and chaotic leadership. If you are not a "yes man" or "yes woman," they will push you out. The expensive c-suite execs brought in to right the ship are incompetent in their roles, dishonest and fake. Max Johnson will blame everyone and anything but himself for the company's failures.

This review didn't age well. Look at us collabing with Julia Fox and Alanis Morissette, partnering with Planned Parenthood, selling at Nordstrom, growing 50% year over year and donating millions to charity. Seems like you leaving was a great call for all of us. Glad you enjoyed the snacks!

Pros

Awe Inspired fosters a truly collaborative and empowering culture where creativity and open dialogue are encouraged. Max is a visionary leader who values expertise and strategic thinking, making him a great partner in building the business. His brilliance in marketing, combined with his passion for the product, customer, and team, creates an environment where innovation thrives. The company has experienced tremendous growth in a short period, providing exciting opportunities for impact. The team is highly talented, and the leadership is both supportive and challenging in a way that drives excellence while staying aligned with key brand initiatives.

Cons

I’ve had an incredibly positive experience, and there are very few drawbacks to mention. If anything, the rapid growth naturally creates a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities. While this brings exciting challenges and opportunities, it may not be ideal for those who prefer a more structured or predictable pace. However, for those who thrive in a dynamic, innovative setting, it’s an energizing and highly rewarding place to be!

Pros

- Give-back component integral to the company and going towards causes that I personally care about. - Genuinely good quality jewelry that's better than the standard within the demi-fine jewelry space. - Worked with hardworking, capable and talented individuals. - I felt my voice was heard and that mentioned concerns were attended to with urgency that surprised me given the size of the company. - Higher pay compared to similarly sized LA-based jewelry brands. - Work from home and work in office.

Cons

Because of the size of the company, it is a dynamic environment that requires one to be flexible and, when necessary, where a few hats. It can make things more stressful however this comes with the territory of working with and for small companies. Onboarding felt a little overwhelming.
