Pros

My experience at Intropic taught me some valuable life lessons, including: - How to handle an incompetent, short-tempered, delusional manager - How to spot the signs of a toxic workplace As well as this, witnessing this company raise a £25m series A in early 2022 despite the complete ineptitude of the founding team was what convinced me to sell all of my tech stock holdings, saving me a lot of money. For that, I am forever grateful

Cons

I am not a psychologist - but I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the CPO (co-founder) has a personality disorder. Aside from the regular violent outbursts mentioned in other reviews, I frequently witnessed him lie (to myself and others) in order to get his way - and confronting him on this would only cause him to lash out and double down on his lies. His social skills, emotional intelligence and communication skills are at the level I would expect from a 6-year-old. On top of all this - his lack of experience, his lack of technical/product expertise and his insistence on having total control over everything that happened within the product department made Intropic an entirely unbearable place to work - despite having lots of smart, hard-working and friendly co-workers.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are really sorry if you feel this way about your time working with us, and hope you know our door is always open if you want to chat about anything you have raised. However, we do not support openly targeting individuals on public forums at Intropic in any way, especially when they are easily identifiable, or where mental health is mentioned. We hope you understand why this is, and that we would extend this same courtesy to anyone. Please contact us at people@intropic.io to discuss this further, and hopefully we can come to a resolution together.

Pros

- great environment (people are young and driven and very friendly and helpful) - good pay - no bureaucracy - lots of responsibility

Cons

- structure is a bit unclear, would require more mid-level management, hard for the founders to manage a company growing this fast by themselves in an efficient manner.
