Pros
- You can learn how not to run a company. A helpful learning opportunity if you're just starting out in your career I guess.
Cons
- Working for Founder and CEO Ziver Birg. This is really the root cause of all the cons... - CEO is childish, thinks he's above treating his team with respect, thinks he's god's gift to this earth, can't make intelligent decisions, is extremely impulsive, is easily influenced by flattery, can't remember directives or decisions he's made on a day-to-day basis which result in constant operational chaos, spends money on showy office decor and marketing but not on actually providing a quality product, has burned through hundreds of employees in a few short years, takes zero responsibility for his failings as a leader, blames poor company performance and reviews on bad employees who aren't "A players like him", is highly manipulative and will lay on the charm to get you on board then flip the switch and treat you like dirt beneath his feet once you've been there a couple months, won't outright fire you if he's unhappy but will instead tell everyone else on the team that you're doing a bad job and apply crazy pressure and nasty behavior toward you until you quit, rewards loyalty with broken compensation promises, is stingy with equity, doesn't value his employees fairly, takes credit for others' good ideas while refusing to take responsibility for company failures, talks about caring about philanthropy but has never implemented any real philanthropy programs, spends company profits on flashy cars and nice watches rather than investing in his team and failing operation, encourages a big-brother style micromanagement culture, throws tantrums and goes home for the day if something displeases him, walks out of meetings that he doesn't understand, has no idea how the company actually operates but insists on making all important decisions anyway, encourages (intimidates?) current staff to leave positive Glassdoor reviews and has obviously left a few fake positive reviews himself. - Lower than market compensation and paid time off in exchange for the promise of future growth and profit distributions that never come (trickle down economic theory, anyone?) - Lack of organizational processes in almost every department means that even the most basic tasks break down over and over again. - Bad reputation with customers and partners. - The stress is bad for your health, mentally and physically. - The 6 months or less that you'll waste here is time (and reduced pay) that you can never get back. Do yourself a favor and take that other opportunity you're comparing this one to.
