Vantaggi

While working at SOLOSHOT, I met some amazingly talented people in their profession. They are working on pretty creative technology. They offer a couple perks to the job which may make it worthwhile. They still have a startup mentality, so you can feel the energy from those that you work with.

Svantaggi

My first impression was that they would be an exciting company to work for. However, though most of the team is quite talented, they came across as quite cold. New to the Bay Area, they have a long ways to go before they realize how to treat employees better. A few of the executives and seniors in the company are quite amazing people. But there are some who won't even acknowledge or address those without an executive or senior title--incredibly arrogant and narcissistic. They also claim to make most of their decisions on data, but the majority of the decisions they made while I was there was purely biased--lacking a researched approach. Furthermore, because it is a startup (even after three years), I found that some people were in charge of things that they knew little about and were very adamant about decisions they made despite the fact that they were hired me for my experience and expertise. Lastly, they were very poor at communication. They withheld a lot of information and never conveyed specifics about what they wanted. When deadlines came around, they were never happy and then added to the scope of the project.

Vantaggi

Good, smart people who want to drive change and make the company better. Cool product but doesn't uniquely solve a big problem.

Svantaggi

Big gaps in the strategy, inexperienced management, and nepotism. Decisions are not data-driven as claimed and there are constant setbacks with hardware (as expected) with unrealistic expectations. The product continues to get delayed, and instead of adjusting expectations to their customers, they hide behind the veil. Customer complaints aren't handled professionally and at times. The management is made up of young and inexperienced folks who are not invested in helping their teams succeed and grow. Lack of leadership is a problem. Another mentioned "they hire friends and family and kids straight out of school" - this creates a nepotistic and awkward environment. For such a small company, there is an utter lack of transparency and agility. Also, skip over the exaggerated reviews.
