Pros
Very interesting product that has a lot of potential
Great office location downtown
Smart and friendly colleagues who are fun to work with
Pretty good work life balance
Cons
Weak CEO and the constantly changing company direction results in talented people leaving eventually
The CEO is unfocused, dishonest (tells different people different things) and doesn’t treat his team fairly. He shows biases to his favorites openly and gets really stressed all the time when there are problems and smokes like a chimney right outside the office door daily. He frequently overpromises and under-delivers on timelines, career progression and equity packages for staff and behaves similarly with clients.
It’s a miracle that he has been able to hire so many talented people to help him else the company wouldn’t have survived till now. The product is great and has potential but the CEO is unlikely to be able to take the company to the next stage.
