      Great mission, great people, some more focus needed from exec team

      Pros

      This is a company founded on great technology and staffed by fantastic people - I really enjoyed my time there. The team is highly skilled, motivated and passionate, and people want to do the right thing.

      Cons

      The exec team could help the business focus more effectively on the right priorities, and make sure these priorities are communicated clearly to all levels of the company.

      Great Product - Problematic Leadership

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The product has incredible potential for profitability and a positive environmental impact. I believe the company can be very successful if it can figure out how to scale its operations. Like at most start-ups, there are a lot of opportunities for individual growth. If you're willing to put in the time and effort, you can get a lot out of the job.

      Cons

      The company is run by founders who have strong technical skills but no experience running a company. Senior leadership predominately hires managers who are while males with similar personalities to them rather than people with experiencing growing a tech company. This creates a deep-rooted culture of favoritism, toxic masculinity, and high turn over rates. However, the problems I mentioned are specific to certain departments. They may or may not affect you depending on the manager you have.

      Stay far away from the Production Team

      Pros

      The overall product is a very interesting and compelling piece of technology

      Cons

      The Production Team is lead by some of the least competent and disrespectful people I have ever worked with. From the C level all the way down to the individual leadership, that team is broken. If you like to feel respected, heard, and treated as a human being DO NOT risk taking a job that falls under the Production Team. I have the upmost respect for Richard Jenkins and the product that he has created, but there are definitely other people causing lots of harm while bringing little to no intellectual contributions to the organization.
