Founders Factory Reviews

It's a revolving door. Unfortunately the talented people they choose to hire quickly want to leave, this has caused a culture that is in a constant state of depression. Their product development process is unfocused and the incubator side is really lacking when it comes to innovative, solution focused delivery and product leadership.

Management - Pressure to deliver to ever-changing expectations without the support necessary - half the time you're unaware of what is expected of you but will be held accountable for not delivering. - Managers refuse to accept accountability for when things go wrong giving rise to an aggressive blame culture. - No interest in developing their direct reports - they use their "startup mentality" as an excuse to ignore basic employee mentorship, training and development. Culture - Employees are severely undervalued and culture is not considered an importance - an issue which has encouraged many to leave the factory. - There are an elite few who have charmed their way into the CEO's/Senior Management's favour - if you want to succeed in this environment be prepared to brush off your showmanship skills over any real professional experience you may have. Lack of transparency and communication - For a startup there is an abnormal amount of politics, clique forming and gossip. - You spend most of your time chasing information which should have been communicated early on. - Communication is especially poor on the Product team (particularly due to its weak leadership), if you're here for Product - don't do it to yourself, your time will be spent on creating countless presentations which you will never get to present, and running around to appease corporate partners.
