Pros
The mission statement is amazing. The concept is amazing. There is no wonder why people with huge hearts work here.
Cons
- The delusion that any criticism of the CEO is sexism or people being "against the radical mission." My time at Leda was some of least radical work I've ever done... And Ive worked at big corporations. Tiptoeing and lying to our investors about what we were doing to keep the money coming in, only to use it as hush money and PR stunts. Ask them about their profits please! - CEO would make employees get on dating apps and use their own photos to lure people in. But yes, everyone doesn't like you because they are against your mission of helping survivors. - When I worked there, the CEO called paying less than minimum wage to a Black worker "reparations".....after asking them to quit their other job! I guess they were just against the mission, right? - A survivor used a beta-kit, and it never got sent in, and there was no follow up. The CEO knew this was a possibility (and did not disclose) but pushed for it anyway because she wanted testimony. Imagine trusting a company with something so serious and it having been fumbled. New employees wouldn't know this though, meaning they are fed lies. The effort to correct these situations with survivors are nonexistent, but the effort to demonize people who stand up to Leda is present. - Somebody stated the "outside forces" that critique Leda don't do anything to actually help survivors, but know NOTHING about the arbitration and non-compete clauses. How can they help survivors if they get emails from Leda's lawyers threatening them if they start organizations to address these problems? This is not the field to try to monopolize.
