I say "startup" with a grain of salt. This place has been around since 2020.
It's interesting that two 5-star reviews have popped up this month (April). Guess what else has happened this month? Three members of the CEO's leadership team have left, two of which have been here since the beginning. "Revolving door" is an accurate description.
Nearly everyone on this team wants to leave. The vast majority have been here for less than a year. The claim of "rapid growth" is so wild. Aside from the application being essentially the same since 2022, headcount has been more or less flat. Current employees are actively directed to frame new hires as expansion and say nothing about turnover.
Leadership has a pattern of hiring accomplished people for credibility. One of the recent 5-star reviews (I would suspect posted by leadership) attempts to smear the Risk & Compliance leader who recently left, but this is just another example of a professional being hired for certain skills/experience just to be ignored at every turn and paraded around for clout. The same has happened with banking experts, hiring them for industry credibility but ignoring their advice and insights and doing whatever the CEO feels like anyway.
The work is mind-numbing and manual. It's embarrassing that we're working like this in 2026. Manually cutting video, formatting text, taking screenshots. It's like the leadership team is allergic to technology or just plain stupid. Any competent company would be able to automate 75% of the work that we do. After 6+ years, these people can't figure out how to leverage technology to do anything.
Please don't get excited about equity here. Request your full grant terms in writing and have someone independently verify what's going on because there is some fishy stuff going on. There are way more shares out there than leadership wants you to believe, and in the end, we know this company is worth nothing, so don't get too excited about slices of nothing.
I expect more fake 5-Star reviews to start piling up, but please don't be fooled. There are no bonuses. People who have been here longer than me (there aren't many left) have confirmed that culture has been just as toxic the whole time. This place operates on lies and loyalty. The CEO openly and unapologetically lies to everyone (employees, partners, clients) and you will only succeed here if you energetically reinforce those lies. Then you will be deemed loyal and perhaps get promoted so you can lie too.
Reach out to ex-employees on LinkedIn. There are a lot of them!
