Pros

Compensation was adequate for position.

Cons

Extremely toxic c-suite, micromanagement and poor communication, an inability to form a coherent mission, much less a company roadmap. A CEO who, if he even shows up to a meeting with you, is glazed over and talking on slack mid-meeting. Abusive and sometimes frightening communication. Unsurprisingly tone deaf responses to most things. The other brother is smart and has a good eye for development and numbers, but it’s often obvious he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. If you’re interviewing, ask how many people they’ve fired in the last year or two. Ask about their ERGs. Ask about the thirty different half finished products because of their shiny object syndrome. Ask about people who were fired on their first day. Ask about people on paternity leave who got laid off. Ask how many women are in leadership positions. Good luck to anyone who chooses to work here.

Pros

The people at Rebuy (across the product, engineering, and go-to-market functions) are talented, hardworking, and genuinely committed to the company’s success. There are many thoughtful, capable individuals who care deeply about doing great work and supporting customers.

Cons

Rebuy struggles with consistent strategic clarity and organizational alignment, particularly within product and engineering. There is limited long-term planning and very little stable structure, which results in frequent shifts in priorities and reactive decision-making. Leadership style at the top is highly hands-on and directive, with significant involvement in tactical execution. While passion and urgency are clear, this often translates into micromanagement and public scrutiny rather than empowerment of experienced and talented leaders. Expectations can shift quickly, and accountability is frequently focused on individuals rather than on systemic improvements. For senior engineering leaders or those seeking a stable, strategy-driven environment, this may not be the right fit. For those who thrive in founder-led, high-intensity environments with centralized decision-making, it could be energizing.
