Like most companies a good product can't save a company with a bad CEO

Pros

Good product, high potential, nice people in most departments.

Cons

Overall the CEO is the biggest negative. Most of the negative reviews on Glassdoor seem to disappear quickly so do not be fooled by the approval rating listed here. He and the male executive team are the crux of the problems at the company. Plans, directions, focus all change on a daily if not hourly basis. CEO is the expert at everything so he knows better than anyone he hires in EVERY department - just depends on if your department is in his crosshairs at the time. Frat boy mentality, drinking and partying is a focus and shunned if you don't participate. Recent layoffs but then there is a budget to do a retreat for excessive drinking and embarrassment. Abusive language in many meetings and oh the meetings... be sure to block out at least 99% of your day for meetings and then be yelled at in the next meeting about why you aren't getting things done. There is very little work-life balance even if you try.

Worst Company Ever

Pros

There isn't much here to say unless you love hours of pointless internal meetings

Cons

The abuse, hostility, greed, and total incompetence of this organization blows me away. CEO and CTO are just terrible humans. Weekly all-hands so the CEO can micromanage everyone. I have never seen such turnover at the C-suite and elsewhere in the company. It's so bad I've had to seek therapy since leaving. One of the worst decisions I've ever made was to join this company. I read these reviews and ignored them at my own peril, please don't make the same mistake.

Dishonest, lacks integrity

Pros

There are tons of good people. Office is beautiful and convenient.

Cons

Fundamentally the company is dishonest. Whether it is how they deal with people, what they say they can do, what they expect of employees, the family nature and so on. Everything is a mirage. They will fall on hard times. The writing is on the wall. Turnover is absurdly high and for good reason. Decisions have zero transparency, change hourly. Impossible to ever chart your course because the course is entirely dictated by out of touch leadership that uses the last conversation they had to pivot the entire company.
