great team, positive culture, strong leadership

not much opportunity for in person connection

I have to give credit where it's due - people at this company are so kind, including the CEO, who went out of his way to form an authentic relationship with me. The product has promise, even if the market is growing more crowded day by day.

At this point, I just have to laugh at the stubborn, misplaced confidence of the leadership team, who continually hire wonderful, experienced people and then fire them or "eliminate" their roles because they think they know better. It's no wonder competitors appearing to be eating their lunch. Meanwhile, I can't count the number of false promises I was made that turned out to be nothing but a bait and switch. This includes both financial outcomes and career progression that the leaders are simply incapable of providing, despite every confidence that they are well-equipped to support experienced, ambitious people. Lol. When confronted, I was gaslit into thinking I wasn't getting (very normal) rewards that had been dangled in front of me since day one because I wasn't meeting their illusive criteria. Or even worse, met with a shrug and a "this is how the market is now." This is the only startup I've ever worked at where it's clear the founders and extended leadership team are in it for themselves. Again, it's laughable... but also it's a bummer, given the nice, talented people who end up here.
