Pros

Higher than average salaries, a remote first culture, a product that has a lot of potential and some talented folk who know their stuff.

Cons

Unfortunately, the behaviour of the CEO creates an untenable working environment for anyone who has to interact with him. The organisation is characterised by unpredictable swings between praise and hostility, frequent angry outbursts, gaslighting, and threats of dismissal. This has fostered a culture of fear rather than trust, leaving many genuinely talented people ridiculed and demoralised. The result is the most toxic workplace I have encountered in my career, with many former employees describing lasting negative effects on their wellbeing. Several are reluctant to post reviews for fear of repercussions, which I believe is telling in itself. There are some excellent individuals within the company, but their efforts are consistently undermined by the leadership approach. My honest advice to prospective employees is to protect your wellbeing and seek opportunities elsewhere.

Pros

Staff - Make the day and pressure bearable for as long as your mental health survives Product - It’s actually a good product! It could be enjoyable if there was a focus on a consistent market led objective and staff were trusted and listened to rather than the next populist agenda, books or AI

Cons

Pressure - not your ordinary everyday pressures that come with employment in a fast paced business, unreasonable deadlines and muddy expectations. Poor leadership communication and a can do attitude to everything with little to know thought. The idea is great but the execution is always poorly communicated and the expectations placed on those who must deliver are horrifically out of proportion with reality. Many people in this company silently suffer, it’s a panorama special waiting to happen. Wild threats across the business over who will be fired next, who got the wrong end of the stick and is falling from grace or just a bad day, the whole business feels it.. Changing directives, poor understanding or research into every decision or ChatGPT led product and business development, this is the level of incompetence on display as this business continues to grow. Staff are the diamonds and help the business grow in spite of leadership, if the leadership had the right mindset and skills, this could be a great thing.

Pros

A core group of people who care about the product, business and its customers. A product with high potential that is always improving

Cons

It can be full on, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing
