Vantaggi
- A certain level of freedom to learn new things and contribute to the team - A lot of great people working there - The concept of the product (greater mobility of people around the world) is very inspiring and easy to get behind. - Nice office, fun offsites and parties, above average pay for the city
Svantaggi
- Exec team lacks experience, both in business and especially in running a tech company (startup) - If you don't agree with the management you will soon find yourself ostracised if not demonised - The actual execution of the product is poor, too many disappointed customers, and there really didn't seem a way to turn things around. At times it felt like whipping a dead horse. - Most of the focus went to creating PR and marketing to make the company look good rather than building a product that customers would love. - It was also hard to deal with the constant turn over. There have been significantly more people who have worked there than were ever actively working there. - All new hires come in, see it's a mess, get their hero complex kicking into overdrive then hit a brick wall with the exec team and either fall into line or are shipped off for being negative.
