Pros

A paycheque is always nice.

Cons

The COO has no experience, is incompetent and acts as a bottleneck. Overconfident and ignorant. I’m not sure how the CRO got hired, but he seems to stay at his job by blaming his staff. The technical staff are normal. Overall, not a good place to work. They don’t care about their employees and don’t seem to be growing at all. Just hiring and firing.

Dishonest Management

Pros

Silent Eight pays well and it hires some great minds. The product is pretty solid so stock compensation could be valuable. Fully remote with flexible work schedule (just get your work done on time).

Cons

Management is not trustworthy. In an all-hands meeting last month, they said nobody was being replaced, referring to some new job postings in cheap countries. Within 15 minutes of that meeting being over, they announced several people had been laid off. I survived another month before being let go. Several people have quit in the last few months because of how horrible the management is. This is nothing new for S8, management was terrible the whole time (I was employed for about 1.5 years). Tons of turnover at the upper level, the only constants are the founders. The company regularly ghosts prospective employees, I graded tests for multiple candidates who said they never heard back (or didn't hear back for months).
