Pros

Pay was market rate to slightly above market rate. A handful of people are really trying to build a strong culture and make the business successful.

Cons

First, Most of the historic positive reviews here are either by people who were pressured to leave good reviews and then laid off a month or two later or are fabricated. The actual number should be much lower. The biggest problems at CADDi start at the top. The CEO is in over his head and has gaslighted himself to believe in smoke and mirrors. He has no business running this company, and his ego will not let him get out of his own way. I and the entire BDR team were laid off less than three months after being hired. Some people were hired away from other jobs when management knew they would be laid off in two weeks. Management is entirely clueless about almost every aspect of running a successful company. They burned nearly all of their runway on marketing by sending bottles of champagne and other gifts to people who had been retired from a company for over eight years and then doubled down on this failing tactic. The CEO has a strict no-exceptions in-office policy, even though this job can be done remotely or at least hybrid, more efficiently, effectively, and for a lower cost. This would require upper management to be innovative thinkers well outside their capability. To me, our team was building a strong culture and was more interested in the company's success than "leadership." "Leadership," with the exception of a select few, was much more interested in their egos than addressing their shortcomings and taking an honest look at the state of the company. To anyone considering CADDi, I would say avoid it, but if you are desperate enough, please realize that anything out of Yushro's mouth is likely a lie, and the sad thing is that he is not wise enough to recognize that.

Pros

Interesting software if approached in the U.S. market the right way

Cons

From the outset I felt a strange vibe about CADDi. I first had to put together a project for the CEO about how I would approach starting the U.S. office's sales team, all the while this person was not in place, creating confusion around which role I was applying for. I present my project to Yushiro on Thursday, get asked to come in for an in-person interview on Friday, where I get the job offer and asked to begin work on the following Monday. This felt extremely rushed and salesy though I chalked it up to being a startup. I still had not met who would be my direct supervisor. The first time this had ever occurred for me in a job interview, My role, which I sold to myself as an opportunity to grow with a potentially up and coming company, was eliminated less than 2 months after it began. Throughout my tenure management continued to set lofty goals, without any evidence to back it, and chastised their employees when the mark was missed. The entire marketing plan was predicated around sending various gifts to warm up cold leads. Laughably ~65% of the time, due to CADDi's woefully inaccurate information, that individual was no longer at the organization, where they had often retired several years prior. They have easily spent tens of thousands of dollars for gifts on leads that were no longer there. Now alarm bells are going off about p&l from their many investors. The company is still grasping at straws at how to get into the U.S. market & will continue desperate measures to simply get their first sale in the country. If you enjoy being held to arbitrary figures, with no backing, by a CEO who will barely recognize a win but will jump down your throat with each loss then this is the place for you. If not, read the other comments, and choose another path.

Pros

None - nothing comes to mind.

Cons

"Opportunity to grow" is a supposed benefit that really means that you will be worked to exhaustion with little compensation. I took on responsibilities and roles that were never mentioned in the job description for my role during my time working there, which I hardly got training for despite the tasks being extremely specific. Overly complicated internal review system assures that promotions and pay bumps are virtually impossible. Management does not take accountability for anything and blames any mistake on someone else.
