Pros

Aside from a couple good, well-meaning people at this company, there are absolutely no pros to working here.

Cons

The culture is absolutely toxic and riddled with unhappy employees. There is zero transparency, trust, or value of workers’ time, efforts, or input. The CEO is bullheaded and runs the company through fear with pithy amounts of business acumen or respect for others. If you are looking to provide value, grow in your role, or advance your career, DO NOT WORK HERE. Run. Also: the tech is abysmal and basically vaporware. There is no up side to this place.

Pros

You'll get incredible experience problem-solving entirely on your own since nobody else is going to help.

Cons

The whole thing hinges on this unspoken rule where if you point out something broken you're somehow the problem, and I watched that destroy people's willingness to even try speaking up. They talk constantly about collaboration and being open but there's zero actual response when you bring stuff up — it just gets filed away like you never said anything, and everyone knew it, which is almost worse than straight-up telling you to shut up. Management doesn't want to fix problems, they want problems to not exist, which creates this awful gap between what's actually happening and what they're pretending is happening. It's not one big dramatic failure, it's more like a slow leak where people just gradually accept that nothing's going to change so why bother, and that becomes the actual culture even though nobody wants to admit it. By the end it felt like the whole place was running on fumes with people who'd given up, including me, and I realized I was staying way too long hoping things would shift when they clearly weren't going to.
