Pros

Talent aquisition has a good eye for people and talent and you would have had a chance to work with great talent....

Cons

I use the past tense because the company has been in a steep decline, primarily due to Paolo's lack of leadership and business acumen. His poor treatment of people has only accelerated its downfall. As I write this, four out of the five key IT team members have already resigned. What does that tell you? Simply put, Paolo does not appreciate people—period. He hires talented individuals but disregards their opinions. He recruits out-of-state employees, offers them minimal relocation support, and then fires them within a month or two over trivial, non-metric reasons. Taking a vacation? Expect to work anyway. He will even test you—if you don’t respond, you’ll be written up, despite HR advising him against this absurd practice. Stock Grants: What a joke this is. You won't meet anyone who has lasted the 3 years so please remember this is monopoly money which they leverage HIGHLY during onboarding. Who doesn't want 1/4 of a million in stock grants anyway! This has been, without question, the worst place I’ve ever worked. I won’t even touch on the ethical concerns due to my NDA. And while I wouldn’t post this on LinkedIn for obvious reasons, consider this a warning—don’t get caught up in the hype. Run for the hills. If this company is still standing in 2026, I’ll eat my hat.

Pros

This review reflects my personal experience and opinions during my time at the company. None from what I experienced

Cons

This review reflects my personal experience and opinions during my time at the company. Leadership communication style often felt unprofessional and, at times, personally uncomfortable to me. I occasionally observed comments or behavior that I perceived as insensitive. Expectations around availability extended beyond normal working hours, including late night messages. There was an implicit expectation of quick responses outside work hours. I observed limited respect in how some warehouse and hourly staff were addressed. Workplace culture felt high stress and reactive. Discussions around potential stock based compensation did not materialize in my case. Some highly positive public reviews on here felt inconsistent with what I personally observed while employed there.
