Disingenuous and opaque

Pros

- A bunch of extra made up holidays as PTO. - An office where you can have two floors to yourself. - Bring your dog (or even your whole family) to work. - Free boiled eggs.

Cons

- The CEO loves the sound of his own voice. - The over niceness is completely disingenuous, the CEO behaves like a spoilt brat when things don’t go his way. - Falsely give the impression they are being transparent, but you’re fed a fairly tail and kept in the dark on what is really going on. - The company is struggling to obtain any more funding so you might get laid off, employee count was cut in half during a six month period from July 2022.

Pros

It can be a cool product to work in for IoT passionate developers

Cons

Inexperienced executive team comprised of people with zero working knowledge in the subject matter and departments they lead. This isn’t new in startup world. But while some start up execs manage to rise above ego driven decisions and listen to the experts they hire, this team does not. This creates a super toxic, political environment where success depends on your ability to win their favor instead of doing a good job and building the business. Day to day, this translates to systemic and dirty office politics amongst mid level management as people work mostly to show each other up to win favors. This type of competition feels very much encouraged by the executives in return. If you ever, no matter how delicately, contradict an idea the CEO has, you’re done forever. This was easily the most toxic environment I’ve ever worked in.
