Cons
The co-founder is very difficult to work with and for. He is leading a division in which he has no experience. This could be less of an issue if he didnt surround himself with "yes" people. Four-five heads of departments have had their positions eliminated or left in the same amount of months. They were not "yes" people. He micromanages most everyone even if he has no experience in their fields. A co-founder should not be in the weeds, and it's probably to the company's detriment. They're hiring young employees - with little experience - in place of the heads (or moving the jobs to China, likely so they don't have to pay as high a salary). A young team is in and of itself not a poor decision, but the senior leadership team is also green. Outside of two American heads of departments, it's like the blind leading the blind. HR is aware of the issues and complaints of the co-founder but hasn't solved them. North American HR is based in Canada and tried to change the Americans' health insurance. As such, it turned into a disaster probably because of the privatized US health insurance market. HR had to withdraw the changes. The North American team feels as if they were lied to about vacation. It was presented as unlimited, but is only 15 days. They have to get special permission for additional days, which the same co-founder has been known to deny. If you have kids, hobbies or a social life, expect to give them up. You will expected to be available 996. Calls are at extremely late or early hours depending what part of the globe you live, without much notice. If you have previous commitments, it doesn't matter. You are expected to cancel. Do your research. Most of us are scared about losing our jobs at any given moment. The turnover keeps churning. Believe the negative reviews.
