Pros

Company has overall good perks and benefits

Cons

- There is not stability, one day you are doing a great job and the next day you are fired you for no reason. - Zero guidance from the executive team. Priorities change everyday, there is not a strategy. - Hard working people are not recognized. Only the ones that praise the "easy-to-manipulate" CEO get promotions, even when they are not qualified or know ANYTHING about the product. - Since the only way to go up is for the CEO to like you, employees are always fighting to get his recognition and don't care about stepping on other's shoes. - It is easier for the founders and some people in the executive team to blame employees, fire them and public humiliate them instead of taking their responsibility and solving the lack of guidance and structural issues. -If your work is perceived as a threat or you challenge one of the CEO's favorite executives, they will use their influence to get you fired. - Key positions like Marketing and Product heads don't know anything about the product, which is an example of how favoritism works in this company. - Lack of data driven decision making. Decision are made based on how the CEO felt when he was high.
