Avantages
in the beginning before VCs become more heavily involved, things were fun and light-hearted. The company culture felt more inviting and people-centered. The vibe completely changed over time, which is heart-breaking.
Inconvénients
This company has really gone down south to be quite honest. Upper management doesn't provide clear guidelines on expectations and they change their strategy so frequently it's hard to keep up and perform our roles well. They blame their staff for the lack of success in their business rather than taking a hard look in the mirror to see how inexperienced they are as leaders. All of my coworkers have unanimously agreed that it's one of the most toxic work environments we have ever worked in and upper management isn't committed to learning and growing. It's unfortunate because the product itself is so great. They're just burning VC money at this point. It's a sinking ship. The founders are food scientists, not sales and marketing experts but they want to pretend that they know what's best despite continuous data that suggests the opposite.
