      Ego Over Expertise – CEO is the Biggest Issue

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      -Cap Markets team is good, well run -HR team is great, good benefits for the stage of company -Remote

      Cons

      The company has a strong leadership team, but strategic direction at the executive level is a major weakness. The founder lacks the experience and vision needed to scale effectively, often making impulsive decisions with little justification. Leadership talent is underutilized, as valuable ideas are ignored or deprioritized. As the company grows post-Series A, it would greatly benefit from the board appointing a seasoned CEO with the expertise to lead a high-growth organization and set a clear strategic path.

      Worst leadership ever

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The people that work there are great.

      Cons

      The CFO is an absolute toxic person. The CEO is nice but out of the loop. The team is siloed, and it's a purely Slack culture.

      Pros

      - some great teammates - fun space in entrepreneurship, tech, and finance - could be great

      Cons

      - dysfunctional founder relationships leading to confused teams - losing sight of what customers care about - fighting and lack of accountability carries from founders down the ranks - some blatant toxicity, lack of respect - either no accountability or micromanagement - women don't last in leadership
