Pros

Nothing. Just trying to meet the 5 word minimum.

Cons

With an avenue up for ex-employees and customers to share more about their real experiences with Novelship to potential investors, all we can say is all the best for your series B. What can we say that hasn't been said yet? - Offering 500 novelship points to employees so that they write positive reviews on glassdoor so that the company will appeal more to investors. - The founder's direction and plans for 2023 makes 0 sense other than continue to worsen the business outlook of novelship. Existing employees and customers who are in the know can't help but laugh and mock it. - Having a co-founder that genuinely believes that no matter how poorly customers are treated, they will always continue to buy and sell from novelship. - Blindly dumping money on a seemingly (not) good partnership that resulted in nothing. - Refusing to pay commission due to employees until the mention of involving authorities and only then agreeing to pay up. Then informing the employee to be hush about it and not let others know that they were paid. - Feigning ignorance about damages to products made by staff until customers provided proof and demanded for proof from the company. Only then did the company finally admit fault and pay them. - And many other points ex-employees and customers will share with the potential investors.

Pros

remote, the only good thing is a remote job (I believe they set the environment as remote to cut the operational cost)

Cons

Micromanagement was a major challenge in the workplace culture. There was a strong focus on asking for improvements, but very little clear guidance or support provided to help employees develop. Compensation and workload also felt unbalanced — the salary gap between leadership and staff roles was very minimal despite having significantly different responsibilities and pressure levels.
