Kontras
In terms of the actual product they're selling and survival of the company - I'm surprised this hasn't shut down yet. They've been selling the same, dull, courses for years on a platform with buggy code and a business outlook with no scope for innovation. When it comes to leadership, it doesn't get much worse than this. The CEO is micro-managing, rude, and abusive. He doesn't seem to have heard of the terms 'mentorship' or 'employee welfare.' He's micromanaging, hovers over your desk frequently, and publicly undermines and shouts at employees on a daily basis. On one occasion, he slammed doors and stomped around the office, while consistently going back to shout at an employee. Something as simple as a delay on the subway on the way to work is taken straight out of your already insufficient (10 days a year?!) leave. Two of the Directors in the company are extremely sketchy, and make it an extremely uncomfortable work environment. While you may be given tasks outside of your job description and could see that as a chance to wear several hats, you will almost always be set up to fail, since the ask of you will be totally unreasonable and beyond your capacity or expertise level. In summary- practically no benefits, terrible work environment, toxic and childish senior management, frequent breaching of contracts and other employment-related laws on the part of the management and company, and absolutely no prospect for a successful career trajectory here. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!
