Pros

Early phase startup with incredible autonomy, lots of challenges for grabs and to own. Fully-remote yet great culture build as we go by amazing people #heytaco ftw! Transparency and open feedback as real core-values → never seen those taken to levels we have here.

Cons

Early phase startup also means a lot of work and grinding and establishing processes as we go → work/life balance is not fully there yet. One needs to have the correct mindset or experience in this kind of environment to keep up.

Pros

This could have been a cool company. It's a smart product, thoguh not as innovative and unqiue as the founders think it is. Things that were advertised when I was hired like putting their people first, valuing differing opinions and new ideas, were a farce.

Cons

One of the Founders talks so condescendingly to his employees even publicly on slack that it’s alarming. Everyone is afraid to stand up to him so managers, and directors are all just yes men. Maybe the company wouldn’t be going down the tubes if they had listened to employees who were boots on the ground everyday and brought in more unique experiences than one entitled over-educated and pompous Frenchman. Micromanaging was EXCESSIVE at this company, if you don’t trust your employees, what are you doing?
