Fun coworkers don't make up for lack of leadership

Pros

My coworkers were great. I enjoyed working with all of them. Most of them were new to the workforce, but what they lacked in experience, they made up for it in "grit." It's one of the company's core values: Grit matters more than talent.

Cons

The leadership team is basically non-existent. The VP of Engineering is the strongest leader, but he alone can't make up for the fact that the CEO lacks leadership qualities. In the last 6 months the VP of Sales, Product, and Marketing left. Over half of the sales team quit or was fired, and there are almost no "originals" left. This is a slow sinking ship.

Pros

Some of the employees are the best people in the world

Cons

No structure, no upward mobility, no money management, constant fear and anxiety, terrible treatment of employees, will take everything from you and then cut you off without warning

Is potential enough?

Pros

- Company has been focused on bringing in great talent - Mission-focused, if sometimes misplaced - Amazing internal team and a lot of great coaches - New CPO is a rockstar but stretched SO thin - worry about her leaving and going to a competitor to lead - we'd be in trouble. - Trying to grow out of the startup mentality and see positive changes - HUGE strides in the way company thinks of coaching - A lot of potential with the right person at the helm - Actual changes seen in diversity on the team - Have a leader or two willing to lean into hard discussions

Cons

- Leadership team needs development - too many "yes" people - CEO is a nice guy, but not a CEO - Little experience and it shows, and hurts - SO much turnover in the past at senior levels, When you get a great person it's like waiting for the shoe to drop. With so many options, hard to put up with not having a voice. - A few "coasters" - Great ideas and "innovation" stifled when team has to follow whatever whim the CEO has
