Truly horrid environment, Failing leader that won't learn
Pros
Big name partner brands, while they last. Some bright co-workers. The pay is decent compared to industry, but not enough to make up for the toll on health and wellbeing.
Cons
Roham the CEO: * Views others as bacteria “99% of people just react to stimuli” * Thinks his job as "war-time CEO" is to swear at employees and maximize stress * Thinks “exercising power is fun” and says so in public * Believes that you can “have your cake and eat it too” in all situations : poison to Product teams trying to prioritize * Will rug pull any strategy at the last minute, often with bizarre considerations out of left field that become new priorities * Does not understand his customers remotely - again viewing them as bacteria to be manipulated with loud calls to action * Sees his teams unable to execute at a basic quality level, and thinks the solution is a sort of continuous re-organization and mass firing campaign Avoid this place. REALLY. The cost to your personal health will outweigh the benefits - every single senior leader at Dapper came to that conclusion and left. See the pattern. You can’t fix it.
