Pros
CEO is passionate and driven to innovate in the STEM education space and real impact is made as a result. One of the few CEOs who will give you the space and resources to do your work fully and will only come in to micromanage if you majorly mess up. Great work-life balance. Team members always got 5-6 weeks of PTO.
Cons
CEO has made a number of bad hires for senior level positions over the last few years as the organization has grown. They’ve slowed the organization down and created a negative hierarchical culture. A lot of the disgruntled employees here were hired by these senior leaders and then let go by the CEO in the last year. CEO should have acted sooner - it was clear they were incompetent and blamed CEO for any of their problems. Seems to be fixing it now though.
