Pros
Small company in which most of the people were great and supportive. Liked the mission of the company.
Cons
Lots of cons, mostly centered around the way the CEO ran the company. 1. The CEO is arrogant and is grossly unqualified to lead the company. He constantly shifted the company's direction and many executive decisions were based on his whims instead of data. He also forgot his own decisions constantly. A lot of projects never shipped and shipped projects never had a significant impact. Many senior and manager-level hires left the company in less than a year most likely because they couldn't stand the way the company was run. 2. CEO had trust issues and did not believe employees were working unless they came into the office and stayed for many hours. Outdated mindset about work ethic. 3. No innovation on their products for years despite their proud claims that their products are innovative. CEO hesitated to allow the team to innovate new technology and take risks when the product had not seen significant growth or adoption in years. 4. There was nobody in the company to advocate for the well-being of employees. Personnel matters were handled by CFO. When you put the person in charge of the company's money in charge of HR, what can you expect? The employees didn't have a safe space to talk about HR concerns. 5. Leadership claimed they were transparent, but at every company meeting, they presented inflated data and business projections that weren't backed by real data in order to make themselves look good (but obviously did a poor job of it). 6. Some degree of nepotism in the hiring decisions by the CEO, which led to unqualified candidates being hired for their roles. 7. The CEO didn't understand the concept that sometimes you have to spend money to make money and you get what you pay for. Work quality was sometimes compromised because he rather find cheap labor with amateurs than pay a professional to do the services.
