Pros
- fun, young staff - clean, open concept office in an El Segundo business park includes parking - free snacks - dogs in office ok
Cons
- NO Human Resources department = huge red flag. Treating employees fairly, with respect or addressing career growth concerns is not a priority for the company. CEO is judge, jury, and executioner. Big reason for the revolving door of talented leaders who have come and voluntarily left the company - Lots of office drama. Resource or office-related conflicts and suggestions are never addressed with compassion or empathy - High expectations for junior staff to work long hours, with arrival and departure times secretly tracked - CEO is a poor decision-maker who is highly emotional and frequently takes his frustration out on the team despite being the cause for many of the issues - CEO openly bad-mouths employees, contractors, and competitors and is known to have awkward, borderline-inappropriate conversations with female employees, past and present - C Level is only effective in translating what the CEO says and diffusing awkward, tense moments in meetings involving CEO - Co-Founder unfortunately is not highly involved in day to day operation of the business, only for PR
