Great Community of Community Builders - Content Marketing Manager Bettermode Employee Review

Colleagues are good people. Hybrid work model.

Leadership issues: Each founder has a different take on where the product should go, and they’re not aligned. This causes major confusion across teams and leads to wasted effort. One founder mostly brags about his podcast and frequently changes direction without clear rationale. This creates a sense of instability. Internally. It is evident that even he isn’t sure what the product should be. Lack of originality: Much of the product seems inspired by other popular platforms. While that's not inherently bad, it's misleading when leadership claims the product quality and original thinking is “on par with Apple”. The execution just doesn’t reflect that. Toxic culture: There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering. Backchannel conversations and sudden reversals are common. Trust is low, and employees are often left out of key decisions until it's too late. These things happen at larger companies, but they are able to do this with extremely small number of employees. Zero diversity: The team is overwhelmingly from one geographic background. There’s no real effort to build an inclusive or diverse culture, Lying: The CEO is a serial liar. He is good at saying things that you want to hear and feel good. He will deceive you whenever he needs to. Do not trust this person.

— High expectations and a strong push for growth can feel intense if you’re not self-driven or proactive. — Fast pace and autonomy mean alignment can slip. Whether that’s a blocker or just noise depends on your mindset—ownership and initiative go a long way. — You need to be comfortable with ambiguity. Things move fast, and not everything will be fully defined before you’re expected to execute. — Processes are still evolving—sometimes you’ll have to build the system while using it.
