Pros
They reimburse a very small amount for use of personal cell phones for company related activity. While many of the Directors and Associates are professional and easy to get along with, the Founder/CEO and the Chief Human Resources Officer are notably rude and unprofessional.
Cons
The Founder/CEO presents himself as a champion for smaller businesses, but it is a fake façade as he is an ex-convict with a conviction for insider trading while at Goldman Sachs and is banned from the industry. Though he thinks team members are unaware of his past criminal activities, most know his secret. The Founder/CEO current name, Woojae "Jay" Jung, is a new identity he uses to distance himself from his past name Woojae “Steve” Jung. He falsely asserts that he left the industry to bring high-level experience to smaller enterprises. This is misleading, and prospective clients should thoroughly investigate his background via a simple internet search. Additionally, avoid the Chief Human Resources Officer . She is known for reporting everything discussed in her one-on-one meetings back to the Founder/CEO, leading to a lack of trust from the team. Her commitment to creating a "psychologically safe environment," as stated on the company website, is undermined by her tendency to side with the owner, even when complaints are raised against him. In the past she has suggested employees should seek therapy rather than her addressing any concerns or issues within the company. A high majority of the team does not trust her and tries to avoid any interaction or communication with her unless absolutely necessary. Remote happy hours are often a waste of time with lame games that adults don't want to play. The team already communicates effectively throughout the week within their teams and do not want to sit on a “happy hour” call with the Founder/CEO and the Chief Human Resources Officer for several hours after their work day has ended. Especially knowing anything they say will be discussed amongst the Founder/CEO and the Chief Human Resources Officer. If you consider working here, be cautious about the so-called "unlimited PTO." The company may entice you with this benefit, but in practice, taking more than a day or two off is problematic in their eyes. When someone tries to take more than a few days off they are met with "you haven't earned the right to take PTO yet" or "if I let you take time off, we have to let everyone take time off".
