Pros

Fully remote There is nothing else!

Cons

This place is a sinking ship that should be avoided at all costs. Leadership has no idea what they’re doing or how to run a company. Cold Start has shut down multiple business lines in the past 6 months and terminated their employees with little notice or consideration. The company culture is toxic and most people are actively trying to leave.

Pros

remote global team some great people

Cons

Not diverse, poor benefits, no real perks for employees, many layoffs, poor execution on portfolio companies, no clear direction, huge culture problem. Leadership has a lot of room for improvement. They do not know what they are doing as far as direction of the company or how to run a company. There have been multiple portfolio companies shut down with multiple layoffs.
