- Transparency is one of the core values, but poor job is done in being transparent between departments. The actual pulse of the company is kept hidden from employees including items like current funding levels, burn rates, amount of cash in the bank and most of the cap table & liquidation preferences. Often times decisions are made by a select few at the top of the organization without any input from other team members.
- Similar to transparency, the organization is projected as being extremely flat but has an internal hierarchy that can cause issues.
- The compensation is significantly below that of other startups and the benefits are the lowest of any company I've seen, even if your position is commission + base salary.
- Work & Life balance is non-existent, even discouraged at times, through the use of words like cult and unrealistic expectations that are changing month to month.
- Compensation is touted as consistent among employees but compensation packages among employees can be 25-35% more or less with no recognition or basis on length of time or skill set that is brought to the company.
