Pros
- Lots of paid time off, social events and company events - Cute products (cat game and dog game) and talented artists - Remote 100%
Cons
- Compensation is very low compared to market, except for executives. - CEO is very involved into micro-decisions and projects, creating bottlenecks and decreasing productivity and ownership. - No parental leave policy or pension plan. - They do not provide equipment to current employees. Only new employees are provided with equipment. - No long-term planification, they plan only quarter to quarter and it’s messy. Priorities and goals change constantly and are not clear. - The company does not have a budget. - They tolerate conflict of interest : CEO's partner was hired as a consultant for many months despite a clear conflict of interest. - Executive team is 100% men, including one who openly made sexist and classist comments in a company event. They push hard to transform the art team into what sadly looks like a "sweatshop" format with cheaper labour in third world countries such as the Philippines. - Multiple history of burnouts in employees and management. - CEO lied to everyone saying Mino had $XXM in bank and the company was in a very healthy financial state. And 3 months later laid off 30% of the staff for financial reasons, and then claimed the same statement again (that they have $XXM in the bank and are financially healthy) to the people who stayed behind. - Company is pushing for NFT and Crypto world even if the crypto environment consists of frequent rug pulls and fraud. They try to convince us of its positivity by inviting guest speakers that what they're doing is great (including people who was pushing hard for Axie Infinity who later on did a $600M rug pull) - CEO did not have the decency to be in the layoff meeting to respectfully face the people losing their jobs, then claimed to the people who stayed that he would be happy to offer any support or help to the ones who lost their jobs, then proceeded to shamefully delete his LinkedIn account in order to not be contacted by anyone. - This company’s core values are that they “care about each other” and “trust each other” and “face the difficult facts together”. This was not taken in consideration when meeting the laid-off people. Their access was cut-off 2 minutes in the meeting as the VP of operation was still talking and nobody knew what was happening. Some people were coming in later in their shift due to time zones only to try to log in with their access cut and nobody told them they lost their jobs until 2h later. Nobody could say goodbye to anyone. It was handled very poorly with zero consideration for the culture, relationships between people and how much they loved their job and the company. The only “decent” thing they did was to offer some of them with a form of severance package to the people who were laid-off. - They have a poor compensation structure, gender inequality in leadership compensation, and pay very much under market. People talk.
