Pros

Good benefits and pay is OK. Stayed there almost 3 years because of the people, but ultimately left for a management role since Localyze doesn't support career growth.

Cons

The CEO has created an incredibly toxic environment, consistently and shamelessly displaying unprofessional (and frankly, mean) behaviour. CEO lacks essential (and basic) leadership skills, resorting to intimidation rather than inspiring or guiding the team Psychological safety is nonexistent - speaking up leads to retaliation or further mistreatment. Again - all driven by CEO who gets involved in everything CEO frequently undermines, dismisses, and belittles employees - which is why everyone is now leaving!

Pros

The remote culture allows some flexibility in your schedule Good benefits - when they are implemented correctly

Cons

Leadership is a mess - this is a a complete "yes" culture and anyone who dares to push back is ousted at the first possible chance Nothing is ever implemented correctly Nothing ever changes or gets done

Pros

Market salary, remote options, smart and passionate teammates.

Cons

-Nonsensical business strategy, declining revenue (minimal new business and increasing churn) -Inept leaders with no experience who blame their direct reports for their mistakes -“saas” company without a saas product; humans take care of every step in the customer journey, nothing automated/tech initiated -ideas to generate revenue overlooked and shot down, leadership blames executors for their failures -Confusing org chart and no growth potential (ex: I had to write my own job description)
