Pros
Tyler, Dan, Shawn, Brandon Tyler, in particular, is the glue that keeps the company together. He is personable, sincere, thoughtful and as great at his job is he is allowed to be (think he has more to offer on that front in the right environment). Dan simply put is a quiet genius Shawn and Brandon are a great complement to one another as The Data Science Team. Shawn questions everything as should be the case when dealing with the science and psychology. Brandon is introspective, quietly consuming a lot of conversations and content to call on his experience in delivering very pointed work efforts
Cons
First, I will say I had no intention of writing a review but one of the current team told me the CEO had attacked me here on a review (which I hadnt even written). Also, the CEOs suggestion that the negative reviews are tied to one person is erroneous at best as Glassdoor monitors for 1 review per person so it might be good to accept what people say and learn from them vs attacking? I say all of this with no animosity but rather as someone with a hugely successful career helping start-ups, I hope the CEO can grow and learn and grow in her own career before it is too late. Micromanagement is not a positive attribute...Having a belief that you know more about everything than the people hired to do the jobs is not a formula for success Spending on the business....Investing in the business as your investors would expect is going to yield greater results. Committing to things and then doing them/ Creating what the market needs in order to buy.....Taking the easy way or deferring decisions that save money adds work on the team, minimizes the value of the outputs or keeps necessary things from happening at all. Rigidity actually decreases productivity and moral- Expecting minimally 9 to 6:30+ work days with people feeling bad if they leave early is not a way to build a positive culture. Sensitivity to others is important---eg. Not everyone lives 2 blocks from the office and have other things they want to do with their free time so maybe let the team decide things such as when to have a happy hour and you adjust to them? There is so much skill in the small team at Scoutible that is just not allowed to come out in the setting established.
