Pros
* Remote workforce. * Paychecks usually arrive on time depending on which country you live in. * Any job can be a lifeline for those battling the brutal job market. If this is your only option, you may be able to float here for a couple years, but likely at a cost to your mental health.
Kontras
* Looking for career progression, alignment to a genuine mission, contribution to successful initiatives, and recognition for hard work? Then go elsewhere. You will not find that here. * Full dissociation and a significant tempering of expectations for success is required to tolerate the day-to-day realities of this sinking ship. * Constant contradiction, ineptitude, and ignorance from executive leadership and their ever-growing pack of yes men. * Due to the poor leadership decisions, you will be set up for failure and disappointment. You will be tasked to fix unsolvable problems. There is a consistent feeling of the cards being stacked against you. * “Do more with less” or “Just do what I say – no questions” is a common mantra drilled down by executive leadership. If you challenge a decision based on reason, data, experience, or integrity, then you will have a target on your back. * It's common for employees to take stress leave or to quit without another job lined up. Inexplicable layoffs are also common. * This company is a shell of what it one was. Current and former exec leadership have made one disastrous decision after another. The result is an unsalvageable mess for employees to face while execs come in and out of the company like a revolving door. This further exacerbates critical gaps in alignment, solution, strategy, and roadmap. * The 2024 acquisition decision was especially egregious and displayed an embarrassing lack of due diligence and care by the founders. Already on a downward trajectory due to a deteriorating product offering, misaligned sales and marketing motion, and growing services backlog, this acquisition was the nail in the coffin. The decision damaged the company’s once industry-leading reputation beyond repair. * Weak executive leadership is replaced by even more inexperienced and incompetent individuals who are chosen due to their personal network. * The board and investors are clinging to impossible ideas of growth based on flawed forecasts and poor understanding of how this industry and market operates. * The mission used to be authentic but is now an absolute farce. Exec leadership has shown their true colors time and time again. Many don’t care about accessibility and inclusion. In fact, employees with disabilities and neurodivergence have been targeted for questionable "performance issues" and layoffs.
