Cons
If a slower-paced, predictable environment is what you're looking for, then this fast-paced startup may not be the best fit.
Pros
- Most people are great and extremely kind and hardworking. - Snacks and drinks in the kitchen.
Cons
- The micromanaging here is on another level that I have never experienced anywhere else. If you can't trust employees to do their jobs or are going to speak to them in condescending tones that are passive aggressive, you shouldn't be leading a company. - You're expected to complete newly assigned tasks immediately with no notice and no explanation of why you're being asked to do them. - The communication from the founders is nonexistent. ICs find out about huge business shifts/changes in passing and then have no clarity on how this affects their job duties. Things pivot daily so don't even bother getting used to a new workflow. It'll switch up on you within the next 24 hours. The CEO and CPO are not on the same page 9 out of 10 times and the two of them will tell the same person completely different things regarding business decisions. And yes they are married and claim that this is due to them "not discussing work matters at home." No one is expecting you to discuss these things at home, they should be discussed at work so that your teams know exactly what's going on when it comes to the company and their jobs. - The leadership decisions are an absolute joke. Being book smart does not equate to being a strong leader and knowing how to run a business. - Downtown parking is NOT reimbursed, but public transit fees are. They claim this is to "promote sustainability" but the founders themselves drive to the office every week.
