Pros

* Good benefits for a start-up * A lot of the team are smart fun people actually trying to build something good * Platform genuinely solves a market gap, if only they could focus on one aspect and actually drive it to completion

Cons

* Toxic blame culture * Execs keep over promising and under delivering, both to clients and the team * CEO/Founder just wants people to like him and see how clever he is, but shows very poor leadership and low EQ on a regular basis * CTO/Co-Founder is technically very sharp but a very poor manager/leader/communicator and doesn’t delegate well at all * CRO is based remotely in the US all by himself where we have no operations at all, hasn’t made efforts to know many people outside of his own team, and doesn’t seem to have driven any new revenue * COO is part-time and other than appearing on a few video calls a lot of people don’t really know who he is, and he just disappeared for a whole month earlier this year * CFO is about the only C-level who seemed to genuinely try and connect with people across the business, and sounded like he had a good grasp of start-up business strategy, but he resigned and then just disappeared from our network * Head of HR seems pretty good but think she’s fighting a losing war trying to drive positive culture with the Founders

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback. We appreciate that we have been through a bit of a tough time as a scaling company, but now believe we have the strategic plans and a fantastic team in place to steer us towards our vision of fulfilling the market gap that you rightly mention. Improving is a continuous process - we are on the right path, but continue to be open to all suggestions.

Pros

Great idea. but terrible execution. Proof that the grass is not always greener.

Cons

The CEO and CTO (co-founders) are out of their depth and lack basic leadership and people management skills. Their Leadership team and senior managers is an echo chamber and tell them what they want to hear, therefore they're not held accountable for their individual inadequacies. Morale is extremely low. Culture is non-existent. Staff is pressured to over-promise to clients. Staff is pressured to leave good Glassdoor reviews. Goal posts constantly being moved.

Pros

Ambitious, they want to play with the big leagues. Definitely understand what the future for AF and IF COULD look like, but ultimately cannot execute on their vision. Can't get out of their own way.

Cons

Grossly over-promise to customers, which puts unrealistic pressure on engineering. Product is chronically understaffed. Massive blame culture. CEO quite moody and prone to tantrums. Weeks of work are reversed or undone on a whim. No professional development, very few managers with experience or actual leadership ability. Low morale.
