Pros
The pay can be good, but only if you're in the CEO’s favor. Not solely based on merit.
Cons
The work environment here is chaotic and disorganized, with leadership at the top showing a complete lack of competence. Despite the leader's attempts to tout her impressive credentials, it’s clear that she’s terrible with people and utterly ineffective in her role. The negative reviews you’ve read aren’t exaggerations—they reflect the reality that most employees, both new and seasoned, openly share. The problem is, speaking out will quickly get you ostracized or even fired, so people keep their heads down and pretend things are fine. It’s like being back in high school—full of cliques, gossip, and cruelty. From a business standpoint, the company is in constant decline. Goals and priorities shift unpredictably, often changing multiple times a month with no clear communication or direction. Teams are restructured on a whim, and when that inevitably leads to problems, other people get blamed. You never know when you might be the next target of the founder's unpredictable decisions. While some of this might be expected in a startup, this company has been around for over a decade—it should know better. If you’re coming from a background in consumer businesses, prepare to be disappointed. You’ll find yourself unable to accomplish anything meaningful and bogged down by constant office politics and toxic leadership.
