Pros

The people at this company are amazing and the benefits are good. Everyone is fun to be around and is an expert in their field. People are regularly recognized for their accomplishments, and some people play games every Wednesday, which is super awesome.

Cons

The current CEO is directly responsible for our entire product team leaving. I have personally seen her insult other employees both to their face and behind their back, and have even seen her blow up at our offshore product team (who by the way is not bad). She gets upset with people when she doesn't understand something. She has held meetings to ask for feedback, but doesn't bother to listen to any of it, and in many cases makes it very clear she thinks it's a dumb suggestion.

Pros

Company has a fundamentally strong business and good people. Feels great to work in a goal-oriented, collaborative environment with a positive remote culture and supportive team. There is a lot of room for developing skills and making an impact. Product is a highly visible, well-managed function here and this offers a unique opportunity for scope by using judgement and making correct decisions.

Cons

People who are not used to having less structure than a traditional company may not realize how essential it is to be proactive and resourceful in order to make an impact in a startup environment.

Pros

There were some great people to work with. There was also a good culture for a while.

Cons

The CEO change mid-year was quite detrimental to the company culture, head count and productivity. In a matter of a month, the majority of the product and engineering team was either let go or told to quit. The remaining few were offered bonuses to stay on (at least through the end of the next product launch), but all left quickly. The exodus still continues. The employee NPS score tanked within 2 months of the new CEO coming on the scene. Given the previous company culture of openness, there were initially hopes that the drop in employee satisfaction would bring some change. Changes came quickly. The culture was dismantled, roughly 1/3 of the company was let go or left, the continuing negative eNPS scores were ignored—not the kind of changes anyone was looking for. As other recent reviews have outlined, distrust is the standard and disagreements (real or imagined) result in being cut out of meetings, decision making, etc. A final important thing to consider: the only recent positive reviews were written by new employees, all of whom were hired directly by the CEO. They were all written less than 3 weeks after the employees started their positions, and all of them in response to an influx of negative feedback about the new leadership. Each of these reviewers also felt the need to close out their reviews by attacking all the former employees who left because they were "spoiled", "didn't want to grow" or weren't down with a "progressive pace." 👍 Nothing fishy there at all.
