Pros

Remote work and unlimited (kinda) PTO

Cons

New hires are lured in with promises of growing responsibility and meaningful impact at an innovative technology company only to discover that there is virtually no innovation and that promotions are based on loyalty and promoting leadership talking points. They hire industrial engineers to project sophistication, but you will lose all your skills doing work in ways that defy all logic and everything you learned in college just because the CEO wants it that way. As for the work, you will observe client business processes, spend hours (often evenings and weekends) reviewing video and writing SOPs in a primitive application to turn it around quickly enough for leadership to present it to clients and claim it was created with AI. The software is so shockingly bad that it's not even used internally. The company has been around for almost 7 years and still hasn't been able to secure a Series A investment. While leadership insists they are looking for the right partner, anyone with a bit of sense knows that no rational actor would invest here. Leadership frames this as “waiting for the right partner,” but the constant shifts in direction due to the CEO's impulses and repeated failed initiatives suggest deeper structural issues. Strategies are introduced with urgency only to quietly disappear, replaced by the next idea. Management practices are equally concerning — including pitting employees against each other to compete for a year-end bonus just to eliminate the bonus entirely when it's time to pay up, then gaslight everyone like they're ungrateful brats for being angry. The CEO is surrounded by incompetent yes-men who enable rather than challenge him, which appears to have fueled his delusions of grandeur and significant organizational dysfunction. For context on leadership's track record, look up reviews for GoPago, his previous company that ended with a garage sale exit. Based on the shocking things I've witnessed here, I don't expect this company to be around much longer.

Do not work here

Pros

Remote work and unlimited pto.

Cons

Are you looking for a job that provides stability, great benefits including a 401k, management that trusts you, and work that is fulfilling? Well Confidence is definitely not the place for you! The best thing you can do is act like this company doesn’t exist. The CEO lies constantly…not only to his employees, but the clients too! Then you’re expected to back that lie up and create something out of nothing. If you take a job here, remember this quote: “We the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to anything with nothing”. This should honestly be the company’s value statement.

Burnout as a business model

Pros

The process engineers are some of the smartest people I’ve watched lose their will to live doing menial work in a software designed for unintelligent apes. Leadership is extremely supportive…of 60-hour work weeks. Unlimited PTO is offered in the same spirit as “bottomless breadsticks,” technically true, but you’ll be judged for taking it. The equity package is very exciting if you enjoy owning a tiny percentage of nothing.

Cons

Anything good happening is the CEO’s idea. Anything bad is your fault for not being more like the CEO. The closest thing to recognition is an “appreciate you” dropped at the end of a call, delivered with the warmth of a Penn State frat boy. Company onsites are held in windowless rooms for 12-hour days, which is a fun way to learn that “team building” and “being held hostage” can look very similar. The CEO gives speeches like he just took Toastmasters from Donald Trump. The company is six years old and still pre-Series A. Only thing here rapidly growing is the attrition, with four people in leadership leaving in two months. No raises, no cost-of-living adjustments, promotions only happen when people leave.
