Chaotic Mess - Implosion is Inevitable

CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Having the experience to work on an international team & put that on a resume

Cons

In all honesty, I wouldn't put a single positive thing about working here if I didn't have to. This has been a black hole on my career and this company is shady, secretive and never fulfills a single promise - even those put on paper. 1. The company is extremely toxic to its employees. They grind you down and spit you out. Even if you are loyal, they will undermine you and throw you to the wolves. 2. The sexism is rampant. They never promote women. 3. There is zero communication between the CEO/R&D Team and the rest of the company. They churn out crappy products and then get pissed when no one buys the new cameras because they are almost the exact same specs as the one they just released two months prior. 4. They lie to their customers and expect their employees to go along with it. 5. They encourage employees to sabotage each other. 6. Management does not care if employees quit. They just expect the other employees to pick up the slack and acquire more responsibilities. 7. Don't expect to ever receive a bonus for Christmas. 8. Lack of clarity regarding OKRs/KPIs means that management doesn't have to award promotions to its employees for hitting those metrics.

Unhealthy, toxic environment

Pros

I met some wonderful people there.

Cons

At least 90% of the people I met during my first 3 months on the job, had left the company. Anyone who decides to work there should be prepared to deal with complete lack of support from the company. No matter what is promised at the interview, there won't be any budget for marketing, or promotions. Most of the people give up on trying to be active very early on. The worst part of the job is dealing with the CEO and his wife lack management skills and work ethics.

A TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT!

Pros

A few nice colleagues that make it a little less agonizing to work there.

Cons

Unless you're extremely desperate and a zen master you should avoid working here at all costs. Don't believe the promises and benefits, they will not be fulfilled. Don't believe the stories of it being an innovative and global company, it is not. You may be offered a generous salary, but sacrifice a higher salary for a better environment, you'll be much better off. The company is run by two people that do not know how to run a company, they do not care about their employees happiness and they do not care about your creativity, knowledge, or experience. They only care about giving the false image that it is a progressive, global, innovate company. If you are working in the International Marketing Team you will be working alongside some great people in a team that is unfortunately dictated by an inexperienced sociopath that is incapable of understanding basic human emotions. There is no transparency or honesty, you have to find out through office rumors of potential (very important) changes in the company. There is arguments every week between employees because everyone is so tense and depressed working there. There is no trust in employees and they lose great talent because of this. I could go on and on and on, but I won't. Just avoid this place, it will drain you of all joy and you will lose the will to live.
