Pros

- Great people out of top management, but they keep leaving (check "Average seniority of employees" on the company Linkedin page - Information section) - Good pay - Work from home balance, flexibility at the moment

Cons

- People working extra hours and during weekends as a standard in many teams - Micromanagement: top management individually pinging employees to know what they're working on and reassigning tasks, skipping the full chain of command - Random deadlines that change at random times together with impossible goals - Very bad practices - Terrible infrastructure design from the root - Any project that tries to improve things is considered a waste of time and canceled within 1-2 months - It's basically a consulting company but only for their "product" full of tech debt - Weak leadership: C-levels with no idea what they're doing + not listening to professional advice, pushing for tech debt and impossible/random goals, humiliating employees, dismissing achievements, not allowing for long term roadmaps, only quick wins; middle management not protecting employees nor long term projects, allowing and engaging in the micromanagement

Pros

Bianca (CEO) - great vibes. She has a strong vision and significant network presence. Encourages one to take ownership in all things and bring ideas to the table. Company - (as a seller) Aily provides a lot of freedom to run one's desk, upskill, and collaborate however will help one accelerate closed logos best. There's a lot to be done (Series A!), but that just means your voice is heard on a wide variety of projects. If you're someone who enjoys weighing in on new/existing processes, messaging, personas, roadmaps, ICP, GTM strategy, product, etc. you'll enjoy your time here. A lot of opportunities. Every day offers something new!

Cons

There's a lot to be done (Series A!), but frankly - every single colleague is willing to hustle at the same level as Sales to get it done. It can of course get strenuous, but this is why an Entrepreneurial mindsets will succeed in this culture! #workhardplayhard
