Pros

Competitive pay and vacation time.

Cons

The business model appears questionable, and the management lacks competence. The CEO has a history of unsuccessful ventures and declaring bankruptcy. The organization operates in a manner reminiscent of a family business, with a majority of the management team consisting of the CEO's friends and family. There are limited prospects for career growth. Transparency is lacking in the management's communication. The business is struggling to generate revenue to the extent that annual bonuses have been repeatedly postponed or canceled. Multiple staff layoffs have occurred due to difficulties in meeting payroll.

Pros

We currently get to WFH full time given we got evicted from our office

Cons

Over the past 2 years I have seen smart, capable, and valuable talent leave due to toxic management. Management has failed at every turn and continue to double down on bad decisions. The few brave people who reported management to the board of directors where later harassed, slandered, and shown the door. The firms business model has been proven wrong. The market does not want stock for assets. The business model is fundamentally flawed. Many people spoke up about this and where berated and threatened then fired. The former CEO who people complained about and reported for years since resigned and was later indicted for securities fraud by the DOJ. This could have been avoided had the board done their jobs instead of clinging on to their millions of dollars in preferred that has since been deemed worthless. The company has shady business practices like employing a shady consulting firm Square Roads Consulting that has a shady history and shady management.
