Needs a leadership Change

Pros

great product, nice office ,stocked fridge

Cons

Absent leadership, promotes things like radical candor without actually practicing it. Promotes a safe place to try things and be afraid to fail, but then punishes though who do fail. Zero work-life balance. Credit goes to leaders but failures on put on IC's and teams.

Terrible work life balance + poor leadership

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

- Stocked fridge - Comfortable office space - Decent salary

Cons

- Does not recognize hard work and tends to favor the ones that speak the "loudest" despite having different outputs and results. (Expect to receive no bonuses or comp changes and stay in your current position for years) - Failure in radical candor - Absent leadership - Company culture needs to be re-evaluated (can often times feel cliquey) - Minimal professional development and growth

Revenue-Driven CEO Lacks Direction and Support for Other Teams

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

The company culture encourages speaking up but could improve. Working in a startup offers valuable learning experiences in a fast-paced environment.

Cons

The focus of the executive team seems to be solely on TPV (our revenue), with a disproportionate allocation of resources to select teams like sales and product, leaving other teams to struggle. Unfortunately, the sales team's management appears to lack direction, as evidenced by inconsistent performance reviews and constantly shifting processes. The recent layoffs in December 2023 underscore a shortsighted approach to growth, prioritizing immediate gains over long-term sustainability. While the company espouses a culture of boldness and open communication, there's a pervasive fear of repercussions for speaking candidly. Merit seems to be overshadowed by volume, with only the loudest voices receiving recognition while others are overlooked. Many teams are operating at full capacity with limited resources, yet the executive team appears indifferent to their needs. Resource allocation seems arbitrary and unfair, failing to support teams where they need it most. The CEO's pattern of hiring and swiftly dismissing executive team members raises concerns about strategic decision-making. The repeated justification of such actions with generic statements about what's best for Float at the time undermines employee confidence and job security. It's disconcerting to witness such uncertainty at the helm, with decisions seemingly made on impulse and subject to frequent reversal.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. As a growing startup, we face challenges in balancing resources across teams and priorities, but we are actively addressing this as well. Our leadership approach focuses on strategic decisions that drive long-term success for the company. Transparency and stability remain priorities and your input is crucial as we move forward.
