Pros
Compensation at the director level and above Bonus payouts Equity payouts DRSO is great but the the last two years have been awful for people to find just a cubicle or office Office parties if you’re into that. Benefits are solid. Arching employee culture is good, but executive subculture will be explained in the cons.
Cons
If your role at any point intertwines with the CO-CEO, your work life will be just dealing with chaos. The level of indecision and constant changing of direction will leave you to be unsuccessful… and you’ll get blamed for “not being aligned.” Everything runs through one funnel which is the CO-CEO. He makes both strategic and small tactical decisions (like where people sit at the office). There’s no free thought. You have to make it seem like your idea was a brain child of the CO-CEO’s idea. Not sure if it’s an ego thing, or simply lack of trust, but everything is stalled until the CO-CEO says to move. You’re treated as you’re not smart enough to come up with a strategy unless it was brith by the CO-CEO. And when things reach a critical point, you get blamed for stalling. Cane’s spends a ton of money… and when you state that there’s a better way, you’re accused of, again, “not being aligned.” The people that work there are genuine and do good work. Everyone has drank the Kool-Aide and wants to make Todd’s vision happen. The most toxic person unfortunately sits at the top.
