Pros

Very energetic, enthusiastic people. Engineering team, technical lead and product manager are great to work with.

Cons

Co-founders don't have an agile product mind set. They have an agency background. Very revenue focused for a startup. Very intense/controlling management with micro-monitoring techniques in place with behavioural control. They don't live up to their stated values of transparency to end users.

Pros

Four-day week is largely upheld

Cons

The CEO was far too involved on a micro level in everything and also needed to learn how to stick to a pre-agreed plan rather than pivoting every few days. It made it impossible to actually execute a strategy in a sensible way and instead had all teams chasing their tails and dropping things at a moment's notice.

- I honestly can't think of anything
