Pros

Interesting challenges Success with customers (despite ongoing leadership mistakes) Growing bussniss

Cons

Very cheap company Revolving doors, people are hired and being let go No real product and design teams, lots of people left or let go 12 years old company that tries to act like a scrapy starup CEO gives weekly pep talk (in email) trying to pump everyone, like anyone, but him and his co-founder have a real stake in the company CEO thinks he is an expert in finance, product, engineering, etc and micromanages it all

Opportunities overshadowed by poor leadership culture

Pros

San Francisco office is conveniently located, clean and functional. Catered lunches Lots of opportunities to learn and apply AI Overall a stable and profitable company Competitive pay, okay benefits. Serves small businesses

Cons

Longstanding leadership still functions like it's a scrappy Series A and are not adapting to what an established mid-sized businesses needs. Comically unrealistic goals, seemingly no long-term strategy, and an obsession with “working fast”. The constant pivoting feels like spinning in place, not forward progress. Obvious good old boy club across the org. They will close ranks and sabotage revenue if they feel threatened by a woman. Middle managers are afraid to be honest with leadership about problems. Heads of departments don't know company-wide priorities. Get mad at ICs for following those priorities instead of jumping to their pet projects. Competitive, defensive, and cliquey environment. Trying to facilitate cross functional teamwork is met with suspicion and contempt.
