Pros

It is fully remote, and I believe there was one admin who seemed to have a role of repeatable, well understood tasks, and was able to remain under the radar to collect a paycheck.

Cons

Not a real venture capital firm. Rather the passion project of a narcissistic, mercurial CEO who has set up shop in a variety of tax haven islands, and paid attorneys to ensure he is sufficiently shielded him from the presumably nefarious things his various holding companies are up to. There is one profitable company within the portfolio that leaders will claim is going to transact in the next few years; however, with 75%+ turnover, and a narcissistic, unfocused, and unpredictable leader, it is unlikely to happen. Offers will include competitive base salaries and pie in the sky bonus and equity numbers that are unlikely to ever be realized. The CEO has surrounded himself by a group of sycophants who spend hours upon hours listening to the CEO wax poetic about a myriad of topics that do not tend to push the business forward. These “leaders” change direction to ensure alignment with the CEO’s ever changing moods. The rotating cast of characters has yielded a lack of operational capability and disgruntled employees who are usually looking for a new job.

Pros

They pay well because they know they suck and it’s the only way they can keep staff

Cons

Absolutely terrible CEO full of himself, unreasonable and clueless. No structure, no plan and no clue what the heck they’re doing. Trainwreck from my first day to last.

Pros

- Above market pay & benefits - Fully remote

Cons

- Will tempt people in with huge bonus package which is not based on the actual financials, essentially a complete lie - Founder treats the business like an episode of the apprentice, screams at everyone on a daily basis and fires people for fun - Vacation entitlements are significantly below market and are not respected, all staff expected to respond to requests during booked time off - Little-to-no rational decision making occurs in this business, executive team are in perpetual fight-or-flight mode - They only hire candidates with highly aggressive personality traits, so naturally everyone is fighting all the time - Due to extremely high turnover, no systems or processes function properly
