Pros

The company was doing fine till the former CTO departed. Solid engineering team and work culture till then.

Cons

Things quickly went downhill once the new CTO joined. He has a habit of whining about everything. For someone so incompetent himself, he sure does have a lot to say about others not being good at their work. First at the scene to criticize and complain about an issue and then conveniently disappears when actual work needs to be done. The CEO has a habit of make false claims and posting incorrect info without talking to the team. A 15 min conversation with him is enough to understand that he has no idea about his own product. Just as incompetent as the CTO. Hiring is based on your relation with upper management rather than merit. If you are friends with the the CEO or the CTO, you are almost guaranteed to get a job with a fancy title. You are better off sitting jobless at home than working here and losing your sanity.

Pros

You'll learn some things and gain experience.

Cons

I feel bad for working here at Vouched because I'm severely disappointed upon joining this company. This place is headed by ineffective and unsupportive leaders who don't provide any guidance at all. Employees are basically forced to do things without any support from the leadership whatsoever. It's really disappointing.
