Pros

Everybody is bought in on the mission and see the value the company can provide to small business owners. That clarity and focus is super helpful.

Cons

Decision making is broken. Execs want to see and approve everything, hold large committee meetings, and often question a project when almost at the finish line. That, combined with recent layoffs and a stagnant product, has lead to an all time low in employee morale. The company means well, but when everything is urgent and scrutinized to death, people feel like there contributions don’t matter. Team mates are afraid to take risks, and are not motivated to go above and beyond. Basically, 90% of the company is coasting, doing the bare minimum.

Pros

Coworkers are good people and teams try their best despite the chaos. Remote work.

Cons

Poor executive leadership, constantly changing priorities and restructuring, lack of direction, low morale, reactive decision making, and executives who are out of touch with what the business actually needs.
