Unfortunately, the positives are heavily outweighed by two major systemic issues:
Compensation: Getting paid timely is a recurring struggle. The finance team struggles with poor communication, and it often feels like compensation plans are constantly redesigned simply to accommodate the finance team's lack of capacity and the company's inadequate CRM, rather than to reward performance.
Toxic Marketing Leadership: The most difficult aspect of the company is the CMO. The environment is extremely toxic and manipulative. There is a constant turnover of highly talented individuals, but management spins a false narrative upon each departure to make it look like a "positive" change, effectively covering up the real issues. The management style relies on relentlessly pushing a singular agenda, wearing people down until they give up, and creating an intimidating environment that pushes people out. This hostility doesn't just stay in marketing; it bleeds out and negatively affects multiple other departments.
