Firstbase Reviews

The founder and CEO, Mark, is a laughable excuse for a leader. I've witnessed him routinely berate employees in public Slacks, calling them all sorts of demeaning names. Any attempt to get him to stop or learn from these flaws is met with defiance. Despite being 23 and this being his first exposure to startups, he possesses a "my way or the highway" mindset and working style, and is rarely receptive to feedback regarding resolving business initiatives. He refuses to listen to alternative ideas, ways of working and achieving outcomes, and categorically rejects any opportunity to be challenged. If you do in fact challenge him, know that your days will be numbered. It's no wonder Firstbase has such a hard time building a culture - anyone with experience that challenges the status quo or offers their perspective on solving problems gets shown the door; it was a maddening place to work watching it happen to multiple people. If you are comfortable being a person that only says "yes" and don't mind working for a loose cannon that's shown no interest in changing his ways, then this is the place for you. Tread carefully.

Top-down culture Political environment People are underpaid Don't have real benefits Worst management ever There are no processes Only the CEO has ownership
