Company has managed to hire some genuinely kind, talented, hard-working people who want the company to succeed
Svantaggi
-Leadership team has cult-like approach to culture-building
-Onboarding felt like a creepy proselytizing exercise where new employees are expected to bear testimonies of the company's mission
-Sexist jokes made by leadership often- even in front of potential customers
-Leadership team banks on the clout of its board rather than the merit or actual adoption of the product
-Cult of narcissistic personality, feels like leadership wants people to suck up and give standing ovations after everything they say (or else)
-Leadership hasn't successfully brought technology to market before, doesn't understand and sometimes rejects best practices in tech
-Leadership alienates anyone who disagrees with their opinions (including target users and potential customers giving feedback)
-App hasn't launched yet so there is a lot of empire-building, insecurity among staff at all levels, and fragile egos
-Long hours, constantly shifting expectations and scope, sudden deadlines
-Poor communication from leadership and between departments, sometimes secretive even about product features
-Not a supportive culture, not enough skills development, coaching, or feedback
