gross misconduct and power trips from leadership
Pros
Joined as it was a cool tech product and had interesting challenges in IoT and computer vision. Some decent members of the team, and generally positive co-workers. The good folks typically leave quickly.
Cons
- RUN away from this company (would give 0/5 if I could) - Founders hire close friends for leadership roles that are unsuited for them. Have had issues with lack of knowledge of the market, product, and negatively impacting company cultures. - CEO and COO in particular all scoff at diversity initiatives, constantly saying they won't lower the bar for diverse candidates, and then hire their white/male friends for roles they aren't suited for. Interviewers make explicit comments on candidate gender, ethnicity. Have heard COO say "I'd have a beer with X" for candidates they want to hire. You are hiring for a business role, not to make friends!! - Company has never had a strategic vision for their product or market. Poor leadership, lack of direction, and when things go wrong, leadership never takes accountability. - The business is struggling, there is no product or sales leadership and the future is bleak. - The company has been around for almost 10 years and had MULTIPLE redundancies to kick people out who have pointed out obvious workplace issues. Maybe the issue is with leadership not with your employees??
