Circling the drain

Pros

Worked with some awesome people and was able to have that early-stage start up experience which can be fun if you are into lots of change. Remote environment is straightforward, though lack of standard meeting structure leads to a lot of wasted time, and managers don't have time to micro-manage you, so good if you are self-directed. Career development is possible only if you happen to have a manager who has time to focus on it who also likes you.

Cons

Unfortunately, this company will never progress past early-stage. They hired on some execs who have been clearly prioritizing their own interests (Sales VP & HR VP specifically) over what is best for the company, and the CEO and co-founder are so young and inexperienced they are easy for more expereinced leaders to take advantage of. Also the marketing VP lasted about a minute and never delivered anything discernable to the company which seems like a waste of money. The product VP is in so far over his head he will throw literally anyone under the bus regardless of what level or department just to deflect attention which means no one trusts him at all. They also laid off a bunch of people due to finances after the sales VP and sales leadership failed epically but we are still at this moment all in Mexico for a company offsite for a week which entails flying in people from all over the world. I am sure people would rather keep their jobs or get a better severance package than be in Mexico for a week. It's a bad look overall, but many people are talking about leaving soon anyway and just wanted to get this trip for free. Finally, sales leadership communicated to the team that the people laid off were failing which directly contradicted the company wide message from the CEO about it just being a neccessary layoff so which is it? 23 people fired for performance issues or just a necessary layoff? They also showed us all a slide of who was all let go and said it was 23 people but only listed 21, which left us all scratching our heads. Can't say their are career ops here considering all this and they stopped paying competitively awhile ago (unless Director levl or above).

Losing Potential and Trust

Pros

The people that I get to work with and friends I've been made. Tools and software are advanced and leading in the industry. Team formation and collaboration is great.

Cons

Too much backstabbing and no transparency. They constantly let people go for no reason. We've lost a lot of our top people over the last year because they've either been "let go" or forced out. None of the reasons make sense and it's becoming a toxic working environment depending on who you have to deal with on a day to day basis. Forget asking for time off and any career advancements. There's a buddy-buddy system and unless you're in that group of people, it's impossible to move up or relax in your work. There's no trust anywhere,.everything is micromanaged to the max. Why did you hire these people (including me) if you don't trust them to do the work? They speak of culture and values but the only ones living them are us on the edges and the bottom of the hierarchy.

A textbook example of how inexperienced leadership can misuse top-tier talent

Pros

The founding team identified a crucial pain point in the customer lifecycle of all logistics companies which resulted in a promised product offering which is interesting and engaging both internally to employees & externally to customers and their end users. The recruitment & people teams are truly fantastic at identifying high level prospects to join the team. This cannot be said enough- if you should eventually work at Logixboard, you will collaborate with some intensely intelligent individuals that will be willing to teach you anything within their skillset you may want to learn more about.

Cons

If you aren't fresh out of school or transitioning careers (read: mostly forgiving about the quality of your work environment and just hungry for some experience), you will likely be frustrated by the senior leadership's lack of experience leading at a company like this combined with an inflexibility to let their direct reports take a task and run with it. For example, the CX team is staffed by an insanely talented and diverse crew and most of them possess more experience in the CX world than the VP (a co-founder) has job experience. To remedy this, a Director was brought in who holds decades of experience and essentially serves to give leadership more credibility by acting as a mouthpiece to the VP's half baked ideas rooted in meetings with management consultants and mainstream business podcasts. To add to that, any constructive feedback or questioning of the leader's choices could lead to a contentious working relationship with your manager or being placed on a performance improvement plan. Firing employees with little to no notice is common practice here: most employees don't know whether or not they are on a performance improvement plan prior to being fired and many are never given any type of coaching to get off of a performance improvement plan. Leadership and HR have a shared script to let everyone know that "anybody at the company who is on a performance improvement plan knows when they are on one", but there is bountiful evidence across all organizations that this isn't the case. Additionally, whenever a comment like this one is added to Glassdoor, the CEO will address it on an all hands meeting and act stunned that anybody feels this way, speak in vague platitudes about why the comment is objectively incorrect, and repeat that he has an open door policy to anybody who wants to talk about any issues they're having at the company. This constant C.Y.A. culture at the company is pervasive across all organizations and leads to a toxic work environment that most strive to get out of in less than 2 years. There's also next to zero room for career development or promotion. Prepare to work 60 hour weeks for little to no recognition. Maybe an ubereats gift card at some point.
