Pros
Realizing how awful this place was made me thankful for what I have and gave perspective for what I DON'T ever want. The biggest pro now, is being free of this horrible place.
Cons
- If you leave a stable environment and join here... it won't be long before you regret it. There were red flags during the interview process (as many have listed in their reviews). Unfortunately, I overlooked the red flags and still joined the company. Barely even a week in, the red flags were way worse and overt. If you dig deeper, you’ll realize how common it is for people to start and leave in <6months-1 year-- I wish I had known better. Please do your research. - The COO has zero strategy, on top of being an incredibly arrogant person. Weak leader to put it politely. He makes impulsive decisions (such as switching up management teams & org structure) without communication. His mentality toward employees is themed "I can do all of this better than you"--probably because it's easier for him to point fingers on all of the blatant organizational issues, instead of accepting inward accountability or learning to coach success. - The answer to any problem is to fire people, but then it's not communicated internally so remaining employees are left confused. - Authoritarian environment with no transparency. - The favoritism and "inner circle" is intense. Since it's a "start-up" with no true processes/procedures, favored people get away with things that would not be tolerated elsewhere. - They're on a cyclical pattern of failure and workplace abuse. They've turned over their GTM teams ~3 times (maybe more) in ~2 years because they cannot learn from their mistakes. It's the definition of chaos and insanity! - The product has potential, but it's truthfully not competitive up-market (which is where they tout wanting to play in future) - Instead of respecting hires they make from competitors, they act like these employees aren’t fit to "keep up" with the start-up culture because they're "too privileged" coming from larger organizations. First, it's gaslighting and I'm sorry for those that fall for it. Second, it's backward because UJET "wants" to compete up-market. So why wouldn't they be open to learning about how such companies operate? The leaders have never personally worked for the competitors, but think they know everything. Their egos cannot get out of their own way.
