Pros

Deep 6 is filled with very smart passionate people who see the benefits of the product and are passionate about the impact it could have on saving lives.

Cons

The executive leadership has struggled with communicating, being transparent, and often set unreasonable goals and expectations on the team. It is not uncommon for the CEO to call out a person or a team during our all hands meeting. OKRs are a joke because they change mid-way and there are constant changes in team structure and leadership. The executive leaders that are really good and could have potentially changed our culture have either left or are being drowned out by the CEO.

Pros

- Opportunity for Impact: The company is in a phase where it is figuring things out, presenting a huge opportunity for individuals from all backgrounds (sales, engineering, etc.) to make a significant impact. - CEO's Leadership: Despite some complaints, the CEO is incredibly intelligent, reasonable and has vision. If you earn his respect, the sky is the limit. It's all about working hard and driving value. - Product Potential: The company's product has immense potential. - Strong Foundation: Despite some turnover, the foundation of the company remains strong. - Challenging Environment: Nowhere else can you find better engineering and sales challenges. This is a great place to invest your time and emerge as a stronger individual contributor or manager. - Excellent Culture: Having worked at many companies, I can say the culture here is positive. There is mutual respect across the board. - Smart and Collaborative Team: The people here are intelligent and collaborative, making it a great highlight of working at this company.

Cons

- Leadership's Misdirection: Leaders sometimes dream up impractical futures. They should focus on the core product and customers, and just make it better. - Overambitious Strategies: The tendency to aim for home runs with hiring, position creation, and go-to-market strategies can be a distraction. Simply "building it" with a strong team in each key department will bring prosperity. With that said, I would rather have leaders with ambition and excitement than leaders that deny ideas or constantly penny-pinch / say no to everything.
