Pros

Small Team: Close-knit team members who are generally supportive. Opportunity to Wear Many Hats: Exposure to a variety of tasks and roles in the company.

Cons

Cons: Terrible Leadership: No clear vision or direction from leadership; they seem to be making decisions on the fly. Management is disengaged and often plays favorites. Zero accountability—leadership refuses to acknowledge mistakes or take responsibility for poor decisions. Toxic Culture: No real respect for work-life balance; the culture rewards burnout. High turnover rates; many employees have left due to micromanagement and lack of support. Constant gossip and backstabbing among team members, mostly due to poor leadership creating a "survival of the fittest" mentality. Limited Growth Opportunities: There’s no clear career path or opportunities for advancement. Pay and benefits are subpar compared to industry standards. Company seems to be in a constant state of “crisis mode” with no long-term strategy for growth or sustainability. Lack of Diversity and Inclusion: Diversity is tokenized rather than embraced or celebrated. No initiatives to support inclusion or create a fair work environment.
