Pros

1) Decent pay 2) Talented UX team 3) CEO easily accessible

Cons

1) Product Leadership -CPO, COO, Directors of Product, Product Managers are the most incompetent group of people that I've ever worked with. 2) How the CPO makes decisions "So X, how do you feel about moving forward with this feature?" Answer: "Oh, it looks good. I think it'll work." 🤡 3) Product leadership + product managers don't understand how to develop product strategy that is backed by data that has POWER (stat sig, etc.). In fact, most of their decisions were based on assumptions which is why the features that they test completely fail. Why the do they fail? They are literally dumb ideas based on assumptions . 4) Product team claims to be "innovative" however, they don' keep up with innovation at all. When asked about why MC doesn't consider investing in innovative technologies of the future (such as the MetaVerse), the COO essentially responded, "we don't buy into fad movements." Interesting that leadership wanted product teams to take risks but yet they were highly risk averse 🤔 funny how that works. 5)MasterClass will get bought out or it'll crash. Just a matter of time and it's because of the morons that are in product leadership.

Pros

None whatsoever, zilch, zero, insubstantial, empty, hollow, shallow, vapid, flimsy, unsubstantial, meaningless, and vacuous

Cons

Masterclass is a joke, get some notable names and do short videos and then they can make cancellation the biggest headache ever and keep attempting to steal money out of your account. It’s hype beast culture mixed with corporate greed. Want to see an actor who thinks they are gods gift to man but really is the product of nepotism and luck tell you how to “make it in Hollywood,” all while real people struggle, middle class is shrinking, the wealth gap is ever-widening, one man has more money than over 55% of the population of this country (and you’ll probably interview him too, for a “class”) and all the while masterclass is continually trying to charge your credit card? Then masterclass is the perfect service for you! This surface is surface-level fake classes and celebrity worship culture. They aren’t classes, they are ego-centered, masturbatory, self-indulgent, narcissistic videos that is a pretty solid metaphor for the regression of society as a whole. Everyone is entitled, self-centered, cogs with no empathy. And this company is part of the problem.
