Pros
Remote work, incredible people (not the 3 executives). Or at least there used to be. You can survive here if you keep quiet, take lots of PTO, and try to interact with the CEO, CRO, and President as little as possible. You need a good manager to protect you from the toxicity.
Cons
Starting at this company, I had high hopes that I was contributing to a business that would grow and make a meaningful difference for it's employees, customers, and vast amount of volunteer non paid speakers. I thought there was a culture of diversity and respect. The first few months were ok, with a few red flags that in hindsight I should have paid more attention to. Rude comments from the male execs, especially the CEO, to the only female exec on the team as well as other employees. Frequent gaslighting. Terrorizing employees in front of the company, and then going on LinkedIn and posting about how great said employee was. Watching folks be ripped apart after they were fooled into believing they had autonomy to complete a project. The only exec on the team who was a woman was also the one building all of the product, delivering the value, serving as the sole expert to customers, and partnering with the other under represented employees to try and improve DEI initiatives. After she, and a few other incredible employees and leaders left, things went south...fast. The left over c suite relies on building relationships with speakers and customers with empty offers to them of "being helpful". The CRO and CEO simply want to funnel as much money as they can into their pockets, even if it means underpaying their key employees (just watch the amount of people who are juming ship), failing to give promised merit increases, consistently "making mistakes" on commission, and frequently forcing folks to change roles. Eventually the President leaned that way too, and the three of them operate daily to protect themselves, and convice their customer base that they are knowledgeable, kind, and thought leaders. If only they practiced one single thing they preach about on social media. Earlier this year, there was a survey and employees were candid about how unhappy they were, and voiced how toxic they felt the 3 execs were. The survey was address, promises were made, and things only got worse. At this company, you will not be respected. You will not make the compensation they promise you. You might get fired while on parental leave, and you might suffer extreme emotional and mental duress. You will be expected to answer texts and phone calls from the CEO at all hours of the day and weekend, and if you try and set some boundaries, you'll be reminded that this is a "boot strapped start up" and you aren't committed unless you're available 24/7. The product as it exists today, if you can call it that, is barely a nice to have. There's much better places to spend budget if you're looking to improve GTM readiness. And there's better people to support with that budget.
