Pros
Talented and caring team members who genuinely care about others
Cons
- Experienced and witnessed unprofessional behavior at senior levels, including bullying and sexism, which went unaddressed from HR. - The founder CEO-CTO duo lacks maturity and appropriate qualifications, like leadership, basic strategic, and people skills. - The environment is not psychologically safe, raising concerns or challenging ideas respectfully can lead to swift and disproportionate consequences, including receiving threats. - Feedback is not welcomed, even when shared constructively and respectfully. - Leadership relies on power dynamics rather than collaboration, and communication often feels reactive and emotionally charged rather than grounded or constructive. - Feedback loops are broken, and there is little room to grow or contribute meaningfully without navigating internal politics, especially when interacting with the company founders.
