Pros

Some projects were creative and fun

Cons

It felt like the CEO only cared about squeezing profits, no matter how much it hurt the team. People were treated like unimportant cogs, with little regard for their input or well-being. The greedy priorities meant no effort was made to create a decent work-life balance, and the environment became suffocating. The lack of respect for employees as humans was not just cruel but made the job unbearable.

Pros

You'll immediately recognize red flags in any job from here on out.

Cons

Working at this place was a total disaster from start to finish. The people at the top were narrow-minded, arrogant, and pushed their personal views into the workplace in a way that made it feel more like a bad internet forum than a professional environment. Most of the leadership team lacked real-world knowledge of the work they were overseeing, which meant constant confusion, unrealistic expectations, and timelines that made no sense. The founder was obsessed with profit and cutting corners, with no regard for the well-being or growth of the people actually doing the work. All the smart, driven people I started with? They saw the mess and bailed. Now it’s just a revolving door of new hires getting burned out and pushed aside.
