Pros
-It's so disorganized, you'll learn a little bit about everything, because you have to. -The people that work there are great and all bond over disliking the foolish executives. It's sort of like being on The Office, but if Steve Carell's character were extremely insecure and conniving. -Free books!
Kontras
-There is a clear divide between the old guard (people that have worked at BOM for 10+ years) and the new guard (executives). Because of this morale is severely depressed. People seethe hatred regarding upper management, and it's infectious. -Everyone is in the dark about big and little changes except the CEO, COO, CTO, which feeds into an illusion of secrecy. It makes you feel as if sketchy things are taking place. - The CEO, COO, and CTO don't seem to have adequate management or people skills. I've never seen people cry on a job as much as I did here. -Promises are made but never kept from everything from salary review, job title changes, to holding a weekly meeting. -If a newcomer is hired by old staff expect to have a proper on-boarding. If hired by newer staff, expect to not know what is going on for weeks, including what your daily tasks are. (I cannot comment on the engineering team, but my general observation is that the CTO is more in touch with her team on this and other aspects of the job.) -You'll start a project and never see the results, which is really, really frustrating. This can also be attributed to executives changing their mind on dime.
