Pros
- work life balance - work from abroad
Cons
- lack of accountability. There’s a wannabe ethos of move fast and break things, but you’ve got to move fast smartly. Leaders make bad decisions (expensive low roi customer conference, launching vaperware ‘agentic labs’ and a poor mans agentic offering) and none of those leaders are held accountable, it’s just the doers who were fired. - antiquated tech. The product output ie translation is best in class but it feels like a product designed from the 00s. The tech systems used by the employees also seems outdated and clunky. This is not an innovative scale up, it will feel like joining SAP - whiny Germans. Colleagues generally whine and complain about everything, that pessimistic attitude is a downer. - Robot CEO. Has a history of firing people or teams and not thinking he needs to manage the fallout and is somehow surprised when people are not ok with a major change. After a major layoff held an all hands where he talked roadmap and BAU and didn’t address the elephant in the room. Do you really need a leadership Coach to tell you, you have to sit through the slog of uncomfortable questions and emotional employees? You’re the CEO.
