Ugliest company you'd ever work for

Pros

If you're good at learning from other's mistakes, you're at the right place. Mistakes and wrong decisions in abundant. It starts from the root of the hierarchy, and stops there. The CEO is hebetudinous doltish and blockheaded at the same time. And everyone else suffers. Most of the team members are really good though. Company survives on that

Cons

Tried and tested management style. Mgmt has done in past, and doing it year on year. Hire wrong people based on their fancy stints. They ruin the company. Mgmt fires/screws/blames other employees including hard working ones. Mgmt invests in wrong decisions, be it leadership, or product. CEO gets influenced by every word that goes in her ears and makes/changes decisions based on that. It can be very unpredictable and super unproductive, spoiling huge efforts of the team. The decisions would eventually fail, and she'd make everyone suffer like if it's employees faults. There's lot of politics. We've seen people who can speak and influence the CEO to play bad games. This has recently uglified the team spirit and working culture of the company.

Pros

* some of the people who work in tickled are genuinely good and talented * benefits are ok, they offer healthcare and generally respect holidays * you will learn a lot (because you're forced to, you will be given very few resources so you have to be creative and make magic)

Cons

* lack of transparency with staff, you can go to work one morning and find out there and then that youre assigned to a completely new workflow * company is overly focused on numbers to the point that they compromise on ethics * management sets very ambitious goals without giving staff the resources they need to do their jobs properly * lack of work-life balance and no respect for personal time i.e. people will message you in the early morning, weekends, etc. * management makes decisions too quickly without thinking about the long-term

Pros

I am deeply concerned about the CEO's ethical conduct. There have been consistent instances of dishonesty towards both investors and employees. The CEO's habit of evading severance payments and coercively pushing employees out is troubling. Additionally, the refusal to honor financial commitments to vendors further exemplifies a lack of integrity. These actions not only harm the reputation of the company but also create an environment of distrust. It is imperative for the company's stakeholders to address these unethical practices and ensure transparency and fairness moving forward.

Cons

The CEO's leadership has resulted in significant turmoil within the company. The loss of her entire management team and co-founder due to her consistent lying and deceit speaks volumes about her inability to foster a healthy and trustworthy work environment. It's clear that her actions have pushed everyone to their limits. The erosion of trust and the departure of key personnel indicate a dire need for change at the top. The company's future success depends on a leader who can rebuild relationships, restore confidence, and steer the company in a more ethical and transparent direction.
