Pros

Was great pay for the 3 weeks I worked there.

Cons

The worst leadership team of all time. They hired me and several others and then 3 weeks later had to lay 40 percent of the company off. They were literally about to go on a trip to the Bahamas with the whole company. Such fiscal irresponsibility and lack of leadership must be breaking some kind of record.

Pros

The pay was great and the people on the ground were really committed to the product and making it a success! Such a great product!

Cons

They have no idea how to sell or market the product or any idea of what they want to be (trust me, I've been in meetings with execs in person and they are all lost asking for advice) which has led to half the company being laid off. An elementary school kid could do better at running this but unfortunately a bunch of amateurs are in charge. They hired way too many people way too fast without any revenue to support it and then laid them all off. They'll be belly up in a year sadly
