- lots of deception, dishonesty, and hiding by the senior management (particularly CEO & HR).
- emails from CEO at all hours of the day to fix vaguely described issues, even on holidays, past 10pm, before 7am.
- very few full-time engineering resources, several colleagues are interviewing to leave as well
- culture of burnout, justified by "fast-moving startup" culture. However, the startup has not grown significantly by any metric.
- lots of poor non-data-driven product decisions by CEO
- lots of tech debt accumulated from endless employee turnover
- huge compensation disparities within levels
- the CTO is a part-time contractor
- CEO is the head of the board so she has no one to keep her accountable.
