Egoistical Founders

Pros

Coworkers are good, but the cons far outweigh the pros.

Cons

The founders are definitely intelligent people. Unfortunately raw intelligence doesn’t mean they also have business sense and leadership skills. Very often, when they are confronted with disagreements from employees, their only solution is to fire those employees instead of reasoning with them. I have seen perfectly capable, hard working people get fired just because they asked challenging yet well meaning questions. It seems their goal of starting this company is to serve their own ego. Almost all of the founding team who were here at the beginning couldn’t take it anymore and left, including CTO’s own best friend. Most of the department heads have turned over multiple times. If you are thinking about joining, good luck.

Pros

A small but mighty team. Engineering and product talent is top notch. Genuinely refreshing after coming from big corporate or from toxic startups. Perks like all company offsites once a year, monthly wellness funds

Cons

Some of the team is really young and the inexperience shows - but the culture is one where people have a growth mindset and own their mistakes. Being fully remote is hard for the extroverts who want to see people and hard for the introverts, whose work doesn't get seen.
