Pros
There were some great people to work with. There was also a good culture for a while.
Cons
The CEO change mid-year was quite detrimental to the company culture, head count and productivity. In a matter of a month, the majority of the product and engineering team was either let go or told to quit. The remaining few were offered bonuses to stay on (at least through the end of the next product launch), but all left quickly. The exodus still continues.
The employee NPS score tanked within 2 months of the new CEO coming on the scene. Given the previous company culture of openness, there were initially hopes that the drop in employee satisfaction would bring some change. Changes came quickly. The culture was dismantled, roughly 1/3 of the company was let go or left, the continuing negative eNPS scores were ignored—not the kind of changes anyone was looking for. As other recent reviews have outlined, distrust is the standard and disagreements (real or imagined) result in being cut out of meetings, decision making, etc.
A final important thing to consider: the only recent positive reviews were written by new employees, all of whom were hired directly by the CEO. They were all written less than 3 weeks after the employees started their positions, and all of them in response to an influx of negative feedback about the new leadership. Each of these reviewers also felt the need to close out their reviews by attacking all the former employees who left because they were "spoiled", "didn't want to grow" or weren't down with a "progressive pace." 👍 Nothing fishy there at all.
