Pros
My co-workers were decent. They genuinely tried to keep positive in the face of adversity and certain doom.
Cons
1. Larry as CEO is killing this company 2. Larry as a sales person is killing this company 3. Larry as a developer is killing this company 4. Larry as HR is killing this company 5. Larry as marketing is killing this company 6. Larry as customer success is killing this company 7. Larry as compliance officer is killing this company After spending 3 years here, I feel dumber for the time. When I started with this company I felt there was promise. We were headed in the right direction, beginning to be profitable, hiring really good people with great backgrounds and ideas. But as with all startups there will ups and downs and when the company was down, Larry doubled down on making this company a hodgepodge of weird products that don't serve any market need or are 5 years behind their competition catering to High Risk companies. Larry seems to make strategy and product decisions based on what his core group of friends like his COO, Sales Exec, and someone called "Head of Identity" (seriously - what job is this anyway?). What results is cobbling together of unrelated products that the market doesn't want - hence further distracting from the core business and core product which is in serious need of a code rewrite to rid it of what many of the developers call "bad Larry code". On top of that, after the company, at Larry's directive (not the market), doubled down on useless products and high risk they saw no improvement and were forced to lay off 28% of their workforce, in June of 2024, eliminating core roles that could have improved the business without taking time to see where else they could have cut costs to minimize the damage they did to so many lives. I also heard he actually showed up to farewell lunch and then the happy hour the people that got laid off had, thinking he was actually wanted or invited there - true sign of narcissist - and in line with someone who runs a company based on what he thinks is best as opposed to letting his VPs and Managers do their best. I truly feel that I have lost some of the best years of my career having my reputation tied this place - my hope is that they don't go out of business so at least that stain won't be associated to me. Having been a seasoned CS/Developer/Operations/Sales/Marketing/Business Development/Compliance manager at some of the best Fintech companies in world (i.e. Stripe, Revolut, WorldPay,) over the past 10 years, I know that Fintech is small world, and everyone talks, I hope having been associated to Everyware doesn't hurt me or anyone else who has spent time here. Good luck to those who are still there.
