Pros

Great values, less than poor execution

Cons

This was the most toxic workplace I've ever been. Full of promise that ends up being smoke and ash. The CEO is a Catholic priest whose main scam is to get you believing he has integrity, while he has no clue how to run a business and no scruples in how he does it. Trying to decide if he’s just a noob or one of the other sociopaths who run this place. COO is his bestie and likely a full blown sociopath who can barely fake having true feelings. This lady is likely the scariest fake nice person who doesn’t give a crap I’ve ever met. The CFO is the metaphorically stabby type of sociopath who loves to ambush attack her colleagues whilst backseat driving. There are some notable others in the core group who are insufferably smug and bookish know-it-alls and/or combative, but most of the staff was genuinely talented and eager to believe in the noble and righteous work of saving the planet through readership. All the more evil that a small core group on the senior team was willing to twist that energy into something macabre.

Pros

They seem at first like they have good values, but their values do not play out in the way they treat their employees.

Cons

They bully their employees, give promotions without raises, lie to their employees, gaslight them, and keep them in a state of chaos. There have been huge layoffs, which they try to downplay, and many former employees are traumatized by how they have been treated, and they feel that they have been emotionally abused. This is a toxic workplace.

Pros

Great, smart, wonderful talented staff that has all been let go as Legible collapsed in.

Cons

No business plan, no industry knowledge, lied to potential employees to get them to quit other jobs and join. But the real horror was thatCEO postured to be loving, kind, person who wanted to elevate and change the world while they simply destroyed livelihoods and created nothing.
