Pros

Unfortunately- no Pros. I would have said the team (everyone besides the leadership) but even they are looking for new jobs or about to quit.

Cons

Working at Diet Doctor has been an exercise in enduring unparalleled levels of narcissism and disdain from the leadership. Andreas (the CEO), the founder, is the archetype of a self-absorbed leader, seemingly lacking even a shred of self-awareness or empathy. His bold declaration that he doesn’t care about anyone's feelings, coupled with his imperious "my way or the highway" mentality, paints a bleak picture of the company's future. The CTO and brother of Andreas, on the other hand, could be best described as the silent enabler. His deafening silence in the face of his brother's blatant disregard for employee well-being makes him equally culpable. It's baffling that two such figures hold the reins of leadership in a company where morale and unity are paramount. The recent layoffs were a devastating blow to many, and rather than offering solace or understanding, Andreas's response was both cold and dismissive. His inability to show even a modicum of compassion underscores his complete detachment from the very people that drive his business. It's one thing to lead with authority, but it's entirely another to lead with arrogance and cruelty. Diet Doctor, under its current leadership, is a sinking ship, helmed by individuals seemingly devoid of basic human decency. Anyone considering a role here should think twice – no job is worth sacrificing one's self-respect and dignity. How our current investors (who all have a reputation they should protect) can even read any of this and stick behind this terrible leader is beyond me and it’s sickening! As people leave and the company will naturally need to replace us, I hope this message served as a beacon for others to avoid this place!

Pros

Great place to help people all over the world improve their health by producing free, high-quality content plus some extras for the members who fund our work. Collaborative and respectful atmosphere.

Cons

Some "start-up" energy so if you want a lower-energy 9-5 vibe, it may not be for you.

Mission driven company focused on helping people improve their health and helping change the way the world see a healthy low carb lifestyle. Amazing group of people with a culture of collaboration, team work, incredible communication, and inspiring rach other.

Cons

I live in the US and the company is based in Sweden. But they still do an amazing job of keeping us connected with regular video conferences and trips to Sweden a few times per year
