Terrible place to work

Pros

Nothing comes to mind. I did work with a couple great people but they have since left or want to leave.

Cons

Product Performance: - The product lags behind competitors and doesn't perform when used. - Half of the website's customers have churned, reluctant to renew a malfunctioning and underutilized product. Leadership and Management: - The founders lack experience and believe they can handle everything independently. - VP titles and promotions are granted based on personal connections rather than merit, lacking performance validation. - The Product Management team has experienced a complete turnover, mostly due to voluntary departure. Organizational Culture: - The organizational culture is awful, marked by backstabbing as individuals try to avoid becoming the CEO's focal point for complaints that week. - Culture is built through uninspiring monthly Zoom happy hours. - The paradox of laying off 30% of the workforce and subsequently planning an offsite in Puerto Rico. Transparency and Reputation Management: - Despite claiming transparency, the company tends to manipulate information to instill false hope. - Employees are solicited for Glassdoor reviews in an attempt to improve the company's dismal rating, as evidenced by a sudden influx of 5-star reviews in November.

Toxic please don’t be fooled

Pros

Can’t think of a single pro, maybe the fact that you can work from home

Cons

This place is toxic. Please don’t ruin your career by joining this company. The product rarely works. The founders have never run a business before, they are very immature and unprofessional. There’s so much gossip, tons of turnover, and a horrible reputation in the marketplace. Don’t be swayed by the leadership team that left positive reviews to offset the bad rating, which should tell you everything you need to know. The company operates on lies. There is absolutely no growth. It’s a tremendous failure across the board. Please, please, stay away.

Great place to get stuck

Pros

Great pay and decent vacation. Some good people trying to make a not-so-great place better. If you're lucky to have a manager that trusts you, you will have a good deal of autonomy.

Cons

Bigeye is a startup they'll tell you. They will want you to be ok with anything that could be placed under that umbrella. From constant product, positioning, and team changes to micromanaging and lack of trust. Whatever the thing is that leadership believes will be the success of the company today will be different within a month. You can provide that feedback directly and it won't change anything. If you're too opinionated, you will be let go. If you hope to grow your career, this is not the place. They will reel you in with a big paycheck and then you won't see a pay increase (other than a minimal anniversary bump that they "really had to advocate for") or title change after that. Even the top performers stay at the same level year-over-year. Yes the economy and startup components factor in, but they are used as an excuse to not reward people. More people would be leaving if the job market wasn't such a nightmare right now and that's being taken advantage of. The expectation is to move and deliver quickly, but leadership constantly gets in the way of efficiency. That project you hope to launch in within a month? It will take 4x that, every time. And it won't be your fault, but you will be blamed. The sales team is a nightmare and has undergone several changes in leadership over the years, none of which have been strategic or positive.
