Pros

You think you're doing an excellent job...but you find yourself in an episode of the Twilight Zone

Cons

HUGE lack of basic business management skills/structure, managers, and CEO. It's controlled by bipolar bullies. A very skeletal HR department (if you wan to call it that). They will smile and act unusually nice before they backstab you. Policies are made up as they go. Think 3x if you're considering to relocate just for this company. They'll kick you out just because you're making too much logical sense and they want the credit. Very little business experience here. The Workplace Bullying Institute defines bullying as “repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators that takes one or more of the following forms: verbal abuse, offensive conduct/behaviors (including nonverbal) which are threatening, humiliating, or intimidating; or work interference – sabotage – which prevents work from getting done.” Signs of bullying: -Creating a feeling of uselessness -Deceit -Intimidation -Mood Swings -Pitting employees against each other, aka Campaigning -Taking credit -Constant change and inconsistency -Undermining work -Projection of blame -Minimization of legitimate concerns -Diversion -Ignoring -Shame and guilt -Isolation and/or exclusion -Unjustified rationalization to prove Campaigning tactics If you're an established adult who doesn't have time for childish games don't consider applying here! Nothing will make sense, and when it finally comes to light, they will find stupid reasons to replace you. There's no business plan here.
