Pros

Co-workers are hard working and well-intentioned Hybrid work from home Interesting industry and growth potential

Cons

The owners of this business are seriously lacking in any direction and void of any meaningful leadership style. They will micro-manage you and constantly shift the content of your work and role. Turnover is high and there is zero trust among the leadership and the staff. The CEO is a volatile personality will call you out in meetings or within group channels on slack. For a so called "tech AI company" the development team is completely outsourced and mismanaged overseas. Management is quick to blame you for all their problems but can't see they lack the management skills and resources to let people succeed. You have been warned.

Pros

There's alot this company needs to fix

Cons

Management is failing grade in their technical skills and operational abilities. They will blame their poor decision making on their employees, by constantly stopping and start projects, wasting precious time and resources, and failing to advance business goals. They won't listen or take outside advice, and there's a complete lack of focus. They will take on far too projects many at once that they don't have the knowledge to execute on. Turnover at the company is a complete mess. There was 100% turnover in staff over the last year. Roles are were vacated and then refilled as the latest project or idea didn't work out, or if the CEO was in a bad mood that day. There's no opportunities for learning. In fact, if you emulate how they operate it would be best to unlearn your experience with this company. Management can't explain how you will advance your career in this company. The office vibe is bad, and they are going in the opposite trend when it comes to work from home and how tech companies are run with more flexibility. Seems like the owners just want to hire a slate of assistants, to be at the whim of their beck and call. Compensation levels are not up to par with other software companies. The technology and IT team are an outsourced third party company in eastern europe and have their own rigid way of working. They can never hit their delivery dates, the software is always "buggy" and everything runs through a single person. They aren't keeping up with modern technology and leadership just keep adding random feature based on what they want to copy with competitors or copy from open source projects.
