Pros

My peers (the people actually doing all of the work) are very smart and great to work with. Office is very nice.

Cons

Both the CEO/Founder and 2nd in command (Head of Global Health and Wellbeing) are awful. CEO/Founder is extremely rude, will demand impossible deadlines without reasoning behind 'urgent' deadline updates, and is very hotile in meetings. I have seen on multiple occasions team members scrambling to put presentations together by CEOs request, and then he will just be texting on his phone on full volume as team members are presenting. He'll then ask idiotic questions regarding the presentations that had been answered already (that he missed due to not being able to focus for 15 minutes). He has no idea what is going on. He'll go from being hostile to 'funny' at the drop of the hat, and everyone around him laughs due to being uncomfortable. The Head of Global Health and Wellbeing is completely clueless on what is being worked on across her teams. She never shows up to meetings and on the rare chance that she does, she either isn't paying attention or contradicts herself over and over again. It's quite shocking and disappointing to say the least. There is absolutely no focus. This product would have some potential due to the great content and amazing team members, but because of CEOs lack of clarity and constant turnover, this company will never make a profit.

Pros

I had the chance to meet some incredibly talented and kind people, though unfortunately most of them eventually left.

Cons

This company is a textbook example of a toxic workplace. Leadership exists solely to appease the CEO, who exhibits narcissistic behavior, a volatile temper, and a complete disconnect from reality. Every decision, no matter how small, must go through the CEO. I understand that leadership approval is part of any organization, but the lack of communication and alignment between teams and management regularly results in entire weeks of work being discarded overnight. I’ve personally experienced 120+ hours of work wasted simply because leadership changed direction on a whim. Effort, skill, and results mean nothing if they don’t align with the CEO’s personal preferences. This goes beyond simple micromanagement — it creates a hostile, demoralizing, and psychologically exhausting work environment where employees are set up to fail rather than succeed. Processes? Nonexistent. Accountability? Only for employees, never leadership. Talented associates are constantly undermined, treated as incompetent, and stripped of confidence. The environment is so mentally exhausting that multiple colleagues have had to take medical leave for stress or mental health reasons. HR does not protect employees—they exist to cover up the dysfunction and preserve the CEO’s image. And the 5-star reviews you see online? Don’t be fooled—they are mostly FAKE. Don’t waste your time going through their hiring process. Most new hires I’ve seen don’t even last two months, and several people quit within their first one or two weeks. The turnover is extreme, which says everything you need to know about how this company operates.
