Pros
Nice office and location in downtown Palo Alto. The concept of Convetit is a strong one and the message resonates with the market.
Cons
So I waited a few months to write this so I could give a fair and impartial review. In short, Convetit is a hostile work environment, led by the CEO (Tom). If you want to get verbally abused, always feel like you're walking on eggshells, don't want your opinion valued or heard, or enjoy waiting for the ticking time bomb that is Tom to explode- then this is the place for you! You may think that just doing everything Tom says will let you avoid his wrath, but no. His outbursts can come and go for no reason at all. Trying to please him is like hitting a moving target. You're darned if you do, darned if you don't. Tom is also very 'loyalty' focused. If there's any hint of you looking for a new position or getting ready to move on, then he'll fire you immediately (no severance, no warning). There's absolutely nothing illegal about this, but shows a lack of respect and consideration. Also, I don't like focusing so much of this review on one person (the CEO), but since it's a small startup, the entire culture and vibe of the company is determined by the CEO so there's no way around it. He is the company's worst enemy. But when you first meet Tom, he will come across as incredibly charming and outgoing (which he is!). He is a great salesperson, but eventually, his demons come out and overtake the best that is within him. If you work here, you will be actively choosing to be in an abusive relationship. You've been warned.
