Vantaggi

Great, fun product that is beloved by customers Amazing talent on the ground. So many great minds. "Mature" startup with great perks Work/life balance

Svantaggi

Lots of confusion, fake empowerment, meanness and secrecy. Competition within the marketing team, project stealing and disrespect of people's roles. Constant undermining to the point where even senior managers are informally demoted and cast aside. Overt favoritism, earned by being a yes man or woman and doing what you're told. The favorites can do ANYTHING they want, while others can do nothing right. Zero support from leadership. Inept, threatened, aggressive leadership with major imposter syndrome. There's nothing to learn from those in charge. In fact, be prepared to teach and then be punished for being "outspoken." Short-term thinking and planning resulting in missed opportunities. Hiring too many too fast, with overlapping responsibilities. Roles aren't defined well so it's hard to know who does what. Excited new hires are allowed to run with projects without including the right people. Before you know it, you've become redundant. HR has no power to help, as people are regularly complaining and inevitably leaving or being pushed out.
