Pros

Originally a few select lovely team members, products were great, innovative.

Cons

Toxic, founder fear which bled into the rest of the team, no flexible work options and alarming turnover of staff unless you were too scared to move and locked in through fear of being there from the start.

Pros

Very few positives a couple of good eggs in the team but it won’t be long until they leave.

Cons

A culture built on fear and quite literally feels like a cult and not in a good way in a genuinely fear way. Employee average tenure is horrific with most senior leadership lasting less than 3 months.
