Pros
You can tell yourself you're doing good for the world, though in reality the product isn't up to scratch and customers are leaving in droves (have a look at the reviews elsewhere if you don't believe me).
Cons
Working here feels like you're constantly walking on eggshells with a CEO whose behaviour is genuinely damaging and toxic. There's loads of chat about "no ego" and "taking ownership," but when it comes down to it, everything runs through the manipulative CEO. You're micromanaged to death, called out in front of everyone, and if you dare push back, you're out.
The turnover is mental. People quit constantly or get fired left and right for reasons that don't really make sense ("culture fit"). Promises about progression, support, flexible working are all a lie. There's zero work-life balance, and burnout is constant.
The way things are run is basically a mix of intimidation, mind games, and public humiliation. Feedback isn't meant to help you improve, it's used to knock you down and keep you in line. The CEO openly undermines people, including other senior staff, which just creates this atmosphere where everyone's anxious and insecure.
This isn't a high-performance culture by any stretch. It's a toxic environment where the CEO's ego runs the show and everyone else is just trying to survive.
If you're thinking about joining, seriously talk to people who've left first. And be ready to leave quickly if you value your mental health, your career, or just being treated with basic respect.
