Pros

weekly lunches from the company, coworkers are great, small company so you have the ability to change processes if needed.

Cons

upper management chaotic. Owner and CEO doesn't know or respect your role. CEO's knowledge was pathetic. Upper management questions everything. Office politics is another constant that you have to juggle. Slack culture is horrific and intense, you will get called out in public channels so prepare.

Pros

Nice facilities and frequent activities during lunch hours.

Cons

Nearly all work ultimately revolves around meeting the expectations of the CEO/founder, which is challenging because direction can be unclear, inconsistent, and subject to sudden changes. Priorities often shift without communication or explanation, making it difficult to plan ahead or work with any sense of stability. It frequently felt like teams were trying to interpret what the CEO wanted rather than following a coherent strategy. You might be aligned one day only to find the expectations have changed the next, not due to the quality of the work but simply because his ideas had shifted. This created a reactive environment where people were constantly doubting themselves and second-guessing. The result is a workplace where morale is noticeably low and employees appear stressed and uncertain about how to succeed. If you value clarity, consistent communication, or a collaborative culture, this environment may be challenging.
