Pros

Remote work option, there are no other positives

Cons

CEO appears to have limited experience in people management, resulting in weak leadership, poor organisational structure, and a lack of accountability Employees are largely left to fend for themselves with zero to no onboarding, guidance, or support Expectations are often unspoken or change without warning, creating a culture where employees are expected to “just know” what is required of them Failure to meet these unstated expectations is frequently met with blame rather than support Strategy, priorities, and expectations change weekly Decision-making is reactive and short-sighted rather than guided by any coherent and logical long-term plan Communication is inconsistent, unclear, and frequently last-minute Extremely high staff turnover, indicating deep routed systemic issues within the organisation No job security, roles are unstable and employees are treated as easily replaceable No meaningful company culture or visible effort to build one (No bonuses or recognition ever) No proper HR function (due to firing) leaving employees without support, protection, or basic employment processes. No Bonuses, Salaries are consistently late on payment.
