Pros

Fantastic location. Close to everything. Very Accessible.

Cons

Instead of addressing the poor internal communication within the company, the founders gutted the marketing team and replaced the director with Stalin, the Great Terror. Driven by grandiose fantasies about his accomplishments, the new CMO goes above and beyond to demean his "inferiors". He is inconsiderate of his staff's situation and struggles and regularly uses negative words and profanity to put his staff down. This person is a name-dropper who manages to make the conversation about himself every single time and loses his cool if you do not give him attention. He never has his own opinion and just regurgitates information he sees on twitter at meetings and refuses to listen to new ideas. He is a human retweet who can't elaborate or explain his own ideas. He hates being questioned especially, when asked by someone who he feels is "beneath" him. This is not someone people should learn from. He looks down on people and embarrasses his staff in front of other teams. If you look at his work history, it's obvious he's jumping from one job to another for a reason. He mimics and copies everything he sees online - from Xero to Stripe. He needs to come up with new ideas that actually work and is customised for the company. Besides the lack of diversity and other issues within the company, marketing takes the cake. It's a gravity-well, made of blood, sweat and tears, that will drain every energy you have in your body. People are leaving to get their mental health in check even without a new job to go. Staff are willing to be unemployed during a pandemic rather than stay in a toxic environment.

Challenging hours to accommodate Australian times & Americas but they make it work. Startup means lots of process building and organization. Often not enough hours in a day, lots to do
