Vantaggi
Most (if not all) hires bring a positive attitude and willingness to step out of their roles to solve problems around the company.
Svantaggi
Working for a couple as founders can have its difficulties, so beware. Founding team lacks the emotional intelligence to check personal issues/agendas at the door, as well as the leadership skills to get others to buy into their vision, or the collaboration skills to build together with more experienced team members. Crying and yelling were often-used tactics to push the team (especially those they held more influence over) to do their bidding, as opposed to constructively plotting a path forward. Add to that what felt like a preference to outsource high-value functions (with little-to-no foresight on continuity loss), a mostly impressionable in-house team (understandably) hesitant to offer up opinions/ideas, an emphasis on a dispersed workforce (keeping the team disconnected), valuing time online (even weekends) over real effort or results, founders seemingly more interested in status than problem-solving or pivoting from years-old ideas...this doesn't feel like a recipe for success. It also regularly felt that people at this company were more often treated as resources and expendable assets, rather than highly-valuable teammates of a typical startup of this size. Most of the culture the company preaches is smoke and mirrors - talked about or outlined on a slide deck maybe once a quarter, but never any substantial thought/effort/energy to make those values a reality of working for the company. If the business acumen existed at the top to counteract all the above, one might consider this company bearable or at the very least, likely to succeed.
