Pros

Symbiome has managed to hire some amazing, young, talent. Unfortunately, leadership inhibits that talent from reaching any potential.

Cons

Symbiome is run like a dictatorship- and a poor one at that. The CEO, Vicki, is an evasive and illusive leader. You will not ever know what your job role entails- and it may change on a moment to moment basis without you ever knowing what the expectation for success is. She has no guidelines around branding, and will be sure to rip apart your work if she's in the mood to do-so. She says one thing on a given day, and will surely ream you for doing as you are told the following. She displays erratic behavior targeting and attacking various employees when things go awry. She insisted that everyone come into the office in the midst of the pandemic, when offices in SF were to be shutdown, and did not provide a safe environment. She also insists on all data funneling through Looker, which is setup wrong, so that she can report incorrect metrics to her investors. The company does not have a strategy, nor does it have any clear trajectory or direction. The CEO brought on senior C-suite leadership that are severely underqualified and subsequently inhibit the team's ability to produce revenue. One member of leadership is inappropriate, unprofessional and it was not uncommon to hear him verbally call another employee an "idiot". Another leader is severely unqualified and has not experience in the field that she is running. Last time I checked, a CMO should know how to pull basic data from Google Analytics. Run far-far-far away from Symbiome. The CEO has a history of this type of behavior and the company will not be going anywhere with this leader in place.
