Pros

Intelligent coworkers, ample company bonding time to know your coworkers, the main product (acretrader) is a great product that fits the market, you have the autonomy to make decisions and build processes, if you are willing to put in the work you will learn a lot in a short amount of time, the acretrader platform business unit has great leadership and direction

Cons

Leadership lost sight of the main product (acretrader) and spent too much time trying to build other products too fast. Leadership was never on the same page, always contradicting each other in meetings. There was a "growth at all cost" mentality that in return resulted in laying off employees due to poor forecasting and planning. The CEO is brilliant and the heart of the business but has left too much of the key business decisions to the rest of the leadership team that has no legitimate experience in executive decision making and organization building There has been too much time spent on building "culture" and creating an extensive and inefficient hiring process and not enough time spent on everything else
