Unfocused, unstructured, unprofessional, unraveling
Pros
The food (when it was available). Also if the claim to fame of a company is their food... Smart folks...if you could smell the good ones from the bad ones Had a great time commiserating with the few folks that knew what was up
Cons
Management: Was dictated top down via the marketing team, which had no business running a tech company COO co-founder is operating nothing. Disappears for weeks at a time. Fights with the CEO. Has an odd interest on young Asian girls. CEO has zero boundaries for work-life balance. Forces everyone to use 8+ communication channels and then gets mad that no one can keep up. Doesn't take responsibility for the chaos the exec team causes Cultures: Tons of gossip behind people's backs Culture clash between Chinese and international workers Lack of respect for your fellow coworker and more about how to squeeze them for all they've got. Probably borderline illegal stuff happening but somehow the legal team keeps them out of trouble Weird nepotism to promote unqualified people to run departments they had no expertise in, mostly because leadership enjoyed aggressive people > collaboration. Product Blockchain + AI + avatar = mess. It was bits and pieces of each that worked in some capacity. End users of the product didn't need or want any of the products that came out. Leadership failed to understand or see why no one would want the products. Always pivoting, always selling ideas to potential partners, never focused on nailing down a strong product-market fit. Massive smoke & mirrors show
