Pros

It's amazing to see the phony 5 star reviews that are probably influenced by the desperate CEO. It's so sad to see. Here's an update: 12/16 staff was recently let go. Including the CMO! That's what happen when you generate zero revenue. Great job. Glad I'm gone.

Cons

I advise everyone that is either investing or speculating on joining this company to fully read through the less than 5 star reviews for this company. You can already see that with the CEO having to do damage control on this site how little respect and loyalty former employees have to the company. Doesn't that make you wonder WHY? It's a disgrace and shame to see the CEO have to reach out on LinkedIn calling an SOS for his sinking company and investment. I won't just blame it on the CEO, though. I'll put the other half of the blame on his incompetent C-Suite staff that he full well knew weren't capable of the job... But instead were highly capable of saying "YES" to his every word. So, really, it all stems back to you, CEO. I feel sorry that you have to do damage control on here. I hope the next time you run a business, you'll remember in investing in your people FIRST. You'll remember to hire people BETTER than you, not people that will submit to your every request. A lesson well learned here, from both sides. Good luck to you.

Pros

+ The idea of the store as well as the concept and product overall is good. + Typical startup perks: Free food, drinks, parties. + 10 days PTO + floating holidays. + Colleagues and managers for the most part were very nice. + Nice office. Top-notch hardware and software. + Pay is typical for a startup, but less than most companies.

Cons

- Company focus and ideas are in the wrong direction. Lots of time was wasted chasing after the pie in the sky ideas, and after the wrong type of clients and consumers. - Focusing on and fixing the obvious was ignored in favor of irrelevant and pointless projects while longstanding issues and problems were constantly ignored and left to fester. - Despite giving appearances of such, management did not listen to suggestions. - More of a stilted corporate environment than that of a startup. - Despite giving appearances of such, its very much a top down/trickle down management. - Zero and disallowed communication between the US and European offices beyond the CEO. Leads back to previous post on top-down management. - Very high employee turnover. Hardly anyone from the original team from one year ago is there. You will see lots of people quit during your time there. -No clear promotion or raise track for employees in some divisions and departments.
