Vantaggi
I guess the space is cool. When it’s not leaking.
Svantaggi
The CEO likes to hire buddies that have very little knowledge of the industry/market, pay them unreasonable salaries, and then expect little actual work from them. To counter this and make it seem that he also hires outside of his group of friends, he makes a great show of hiring very talented individuals/specialists and sells them on the meager salary by pitching them on the benefits of “startup life”. Unfortunately, he then quickly runs them off (I saw this time and time again during my years there) by ignoring everything they have to say, micromanaging their every move, and believing he knows better than the experts he hired. I wanted to be a believer. I put in way more time here than I should have. I felt like there was something beneath all the noise that could make the company stand out, but you can only take things so far when leadership makes it impossible to do your job.
