Cutthroat and unwelcoming environment

Pros

-Company is situated in a space with a lot of opportunity, if the product is gotten right. -Major progress on the product within the past year

Cons

-CEO sets unrealistic expectations of workload and promotes an unhealthy work environment. He has been overheard belittling employees about their capabilities behind their backs, frequently states that employees are "in over their head," and is a divisive leader. It is difficult to work for someone who thinks they can do everything better than you can. He's also made several misogynistic remarks about how he needs to hire more women, but they're just not as good at their jobs. There's high turnover at this company for a reason.

Pros

Everyone I've talked to is here because of the pay. Do not believe them about equity, they will never explain how that works, I don't think they even know.

Cons

This is one of the most dysfunctional workplaces I've been at. It's a very small team, but management still silos decisions, fails to communicate priorities, and then blames the team when things don't go well. I witnessed every single person in management lose their temper and yell in a meeting. The atmosphere of fear is palpable. No one can voice an opinion different from what management thinks. At the same time, they will grill you on the "values" of the company, one of which is "fun". And you'd better believe that if you don't joke around and pretend to laugh at their tech bro jokes you will be written up for it. Some things that have made people gasp when I tell them about working here: One co-worker was put on a PIP for a "clothing violation". They thought her handknit sweaters were unprofessional. Yes we are fully remote. Good luck bringing this to HR, she is their friend from Burning Man.

Pros

Remote Culture. Consistent payroll. Qualified colleagues.

Cons

Limited advancement opportunities. Devastatingly uncharismatic leadership presiding over a Stanford men's club that burns through women in leadership at an alarming pace. A culture of unbridled burnout predicated on compensating for the a failing, buggy, mistake prone platform in an industry with no tolerance for mistakes.
