Pros

You’ll meet some cool people doing good work. Unfortunately, those people aren’t on the leadership team and are likely on their way out. The original founders and the impact they left behind is inspiring.

Cons

- Leadership is not trustworthy and does not have the employees best interests in mind. - Culture of micromanagement and butts-in-seats - If you disagree with any of the CEOs ideas, expect to have a target on your back - The company is convinced it’s normal to lose 33% of your workforce within a 4 month period - Pay is subpar and morals seem to be missing at the top of the ladder

Don't trust leadership

Pros

People and the product, but dont think the good people will last long

Cons

CEO has no experience and is consumed by greed. He is not the founder nor the one that established the amazing culture that once existed. Don't think you're getting equity joining this start up because the CEO keeps it all to himself. He expects everyone to work extra hours and build the company up for him, while he takes 3 month vacations and adds zero value to the business. The company reorgs every time he listens to a new podcast or reads a new trendy business book. All the good people that make AU successful are leaving and those still working there are not happy. If you're interviewing for a position, just ask about the turnover. The turnover is taking a toll on the business and the toxic culture is starting to seep into the numbers. It's only going to get worse and it all stems from one person.

Pros

- The individual contributors through the company are talented, hardworking and overall great people - The benefits are excellent (medical / dental insurance 95% premiums, 401k match, team bonding events, product discounts, etc.) - Lots of exciting work to do - Office perks - drinks, snacks, occasional lunches - Delivering meaningful product to the world is very rewarding

Cons

- Absolute zero trust between the most of the company and the CEO and vice versa - CEO is more focused on employees punching a clock than output; you’re only valuable if he sees you working in the office - Company organization is incredibly top heavy, close to ⅓ of the company is in a leadership role, the recent talent drain is causing burnout and with a lack of individual contributors the CEO is focused on hiring more executives to make up for his shortcomings - No equity in the company - No opportunities for career growth - Work / life balance is hit or miss and largely dependent on the team / manager
