Pros
Fun industry (could have been) and decent facilities
Cons
This was by far the worst professional experience of my life and I have consulted for hundreds of companies over the years. The founder and CEO has created a culture of backstabbing, self promotion, sabotage, paranoia, and distrust. This culture was perpetuated by his direct report hires that lacked the experience, integrity and the ability to tell him the truth. Immaterial directives are given on a daily basis which created an atmosphere of constantly firefighting areas that should be given very little attention by C-level executives, like expense reports or invoices for under $500. His Chief of Staff and his direct report run around barking at the rest of the company to carry out meaningless directives. Anyone that was worth anything in the open market in their profession left within months to a year. The people that stay are there because have to be and they get paid more than they should. During my time there (only ~1 year) nearly the entire legal, HR, Accounting, and Finance teams turned over because the company doesn't value anyone outside of sales and they treat them that way. I ran for the door with equity on the table because I figured it was going to be worthless given the lack of time given by the executive team to strategically thinking about how to grow in favor of auditing everyone in the company's emails. I wish none of this was true, but unfortunately it is. This is the first and probably last review I'll write for a role / company, but it was such a bad experience for me and my entire team that I have to warn anyone considering working here. If you have any other alternatives, save yourself and look elsewhere.
