Pros

- Passionate people at the execution level, who really want to believe they are making a difference - Easy ascension for line towers and micro managers - Desperate for folks with good resumes to join to add to their human assets to fuel sales pitches, likely able to get over compensated for a basic position

Cons

- Due to poor leadership and decision making the company is almost out of money meaning little to no budgets to operate toward their plans which means failure is guaranteed - Several rash purchases of other companies have led to layoffs so job security is non existent. Said purchases were also handled extremely poorly, one company purchased over a year ago has still yet to produce any meaningful product and was left to just sit for an entire year not integrated, bleeding cash - Leadership built / created two offices in competitive cities which was a complete waste of money for an entirely remote workforce - CEO is obsessed with selling so much that the company objectives are aimed toward creating great sales points rather than a functional company. ie. "We're the 3rd biggest chain of transaction and wallets" which is a misleading statement that folds under any sort of investigation since the sales are coming from an acquired company that's only blockchain by a means to circumvent an existing marketplace and tech - Executives openly oppose expertise when it contradicts their opinion, request data to combat their opinions and then ignore that data. Then ostracize leaders who do not agree with them or dare to point out concerns - Deadlines are set arbitrarily to meet "Funding" conversations despite teams of experts and product owners saying they can't meet the deadline, resulting in numerous failed products and sales initiatives - Executives must make EVERY decision, so you will own nothing. Given leadership's lack of experience this leads to core business units not getting the support they've needed to make initiatives a success. This has led to the most talented individuals leaving the company - Despite riding their teams extremely hard bonuses were scrapped this year, which was an incredible blow to morale. Sure, sales goals were not met, but the blame for this can be squarely placed on the executive team, who insisted on ramming through poorly planned sales that all fell flat despite being warned they would - The company as a whole is managed by old school thinking and is about two years behind the market

Pros

Amazing people, complex and challenging tasks, interesting domain, great cross-department communications, a lot of people to learn from, Good ratio between freedom and support. Ability to grow in tech department. Tech management use meritocracy and supports bottom-to-top initiatives.

Cons

You need to be professional, experienced into self-management, proactive and resilient to hard times. Gaming and crypto were hit hard in the last years. Company had multiple focuses previously that led to overspending and layoffs. But learned from mistakes and now coming lean and mean.

Pros

Had fraternity culture before the need to "right size" and deliver.

Cons

The Interim CFO is an individual who lacks integrity. Since having to step up to her predecessor’s role, her team quickly disintegrated due to her mismanagement. This manifested in forms of toxic work environments by pitting team members against each other, retaliating towards individuals she disliked, and trying to force multiple subordinates into roles they did not want. And what’s worse is she cannot take accountability for handling situations dishonestly and instead uses the uncertainty of the tech industry as an excuse for being deceptive and manipulative. The concerning matter is leadership fails to see the damage she has done and that having an unskilled, insecure representative is a bad look for senior management.
