      Confused Leadership

      Pros

      Good pay, nice people at the get-it-done level.

      Cons

      Confused leadership team and some difficult personalities on the leadership team. Difficult to rise in the ranks since the company is small and therefore has limited potential to promote. And since they just launched in Nov 2014, there will be a couple of years of re-orgs until they figure it out, if they do.

      As long as the current managers and directors are here, nothing will improve.

      Pros

      As mentioned, the funding partners have deep pockets to invest and keep shomi afloat. Things have improved slightly since the managers and directors have been called out for the lack of skill and tact. The company has begun to recognize the toxic leaders and have had sessions to try to help eradicate their poor behaviour.

      Cons

      Directors and managers have hidden agendas to talk big in order to get their bonuses and claim to be experts when they're not. They hire their friends to be managers and directors so that they can keep their little clique together and try to exert total control. I feel sad when I see directors treating staff poorly, in my career this is the first time I've encountered such a unprofessional group of directors and managers since I worked in restaurants as a student.

      Pros

      You get paid alright, but it's not worth being treated like you have no clue, when it's actually your manager who has no idea what's going on.

      Cons

      The directors are completely confused. They are constantly micro managing and from a place of concept deficit. I'm not sure why the managers are considered managers, they make the jobs twice as challenging to complete, pretending they know everything and not drawing on their teams strengths. Projects never have reasonable time frames.
