Pros

Sitting on a large talent pool in the Armenian headquarters (the Miami HQ is just a mailing address - zero employees are actually based there!)

Cons

An Armenian 10+ Year old APP start up which grew it's user base in non-english speaking Android markets - having failed to reach IPO in 2022 in the US (where is has a fake HQ) it is now devoid of any strategy other than either using 3rd party AI functions or copying other apps. Ask the question - if IPO was ever reached would any of the C-Suite or VP level of management make the cut? Nepotism is rife - the CFO is the only non-family member and he was bought on to help the company to reach IPO status - with that opportunity gone he is just loud whenever he is in the New York office. Big hires in 2022 , with most not making it to the end of the year, this is a company who has no idea how to grow outside of the start-up to IPO model. Without another round of investment there will be more and more layoffs until it is back to being the original Armenian employees. And if you are sitting across the Atlantic in Armenia and readying this - if the company does reach IPO - they will close the office there very quickly. Be warned.

Pros

The great customer base, and earlier efforts of marketing and pr teams now gone.

Cons

Lack of vision, constant firing of team members or you're left to watch as they get pulled without choice to another project, inability to actually talk through potential solutions, c-suite and director level almost combative if you share feedback or want to suggest improvements, almost like they more encourage complacency... weirdest environment I've worked in. How do they expect progress and growth without proper investment? Also, a large lack of diversity both ethnically and religiously.
