Strange dynamic where everything has to be approved by one of the co-founders, leading to bottlenecks and delays. These delays are ultimately blamed on employees and the micromanagement is demotivating. Workflow and processes are chaotic and unclear. The financial management is questionable. The company over-hired and then let people go with 1 weeks notice. This was handled terribly, with absolutely no consideration given to people's mental and financial wellbeing. Hiring managers are not upfront and honest about the company's circumstances when hiring - take any promises and claims with a big pinch of salt! Employees are openly criticised by co-founders and some more senior members. I witnessed calls where people were berated in a really unprofessional manner. Some (mainly senior) members of the team take pride in communicating quite rudely, and it's common for people to be really late for meetings. Needless to say psychological safety is non- existent. This high-stress approach is passed off as being rooted in passion for the mission, and to an extent I'm sure it is, but a mission-driven company is not worth it's salt if people are not treated with basic respect. I really hope that junior employees or those for who this might be their first corporate role realise this is not normal.

This company rotted my mental health, I would advise anyone to steer clear from them as they do not care for your mental wellbeing. From the day I started I was expected to know the company inside out and was given no training and very little guidance, this was a major red flag and I should have known from then that it was going to be a shambles. I was met with arrogance and told I was asking too many questions - only for them to later realise they forgot to share a vital learning tool with me to enable me to actually do my job properly. I was told in my interview that I would have flexible shifts and I would work on a rota basis, when I brought this up in my first couple of weeks I was told to discuss this with the other staff member and if we were unable to come to an agreement between ourselves (!) they mentioned they would need to bring in a founder to "sort it out". This went unmentioned for weeks and then I was basically forced to work the late evening shift for the next 5 months until I had to eventually say it was too much and I had commitments and needed at least one early shift. The department was a mess and there was no real rules because when a founder decided they didn't like something, every "rule" changed based on circumstance. The founders have no respect for your job role because if they decide something isn't good enough, you're berated and made to feel you are not doing your job properly, even though you have followed the guidelines given. No sympathy for you if you go through any type of life issue, I basically had to beg before given any time off. HR isn't even a department, it's one person who wouldn't dare challenge a founder. When they decided they were done with me because I wasn't lying down and taking the abuse and unprofessionalism, they micromanaged me out and started pulling me up on trivial things to break me which led to my resignation. This company is toxic and do not deserve some of the lovely people they have working for them.
