Pros
Colleagues are nice and fun to work with
Cons
Incompetent and bullying by duplicitous senior leadership. Microaggression daily. Churn and burn toxic culture by founders and HR. High turnover as staff can not meet the unrealistic targets or goals set. Good staff exit the business quickly. Blame game culture. CEO and CFO will blame everyone and anyone including their own customers rather than look to their own lack of business skills, knowledge and competence to undertake those roles. Chaotic management. No strategic or operational direction as they don’t have the skills or knowledge and instead staff are subjected to emotionally reactive bullying blame & shame behaviours and chaotic changing directions to suit the whims of CEO and CFO leadership, as they erratically react to changing market conditions with no strategic planning. Surveillance culture. Senior leadership and HR put staff under overt and covert surveillance as they have a high level of mistrust of all employees. The company does not ‘walk the talk’ at all when it comes to company values. It’s all for show. Staff are requested for a testimonial as part of onboarding and LinkedIn staff testimonials are re-edited by the company before being made public to provide a more positive review of the company than intended by the original submission. Working conditions are like working in a third world country sweatshop. You will be implicitly expected to be available and work all hours and weekends. Senior leadership team will be friendly to your face but toxic behind your back. The actual tech product/soft aware is old, updated and does not fit the changing requirements of the customers. Little to no work is done on evaluating or understanding current ICP or product market fit. Senior management don’t listen to customers or their own staff around feedback on the product.
