Pros
- You may meet some colleagues that are worth keeping in your network. - Pay is ok, but you are consistently playing defense against an inept CEO.
Kontras
- CEO has an MBA but is completely clueless on how to run a business, even his product management experience has come to nothing because of the subpar product. - CEO perpetuates toxicity and the entire company thinks of him as a joke, there are rumors to remove him but cant yet due to logistics and ownership. - The company is barely squeaking out performance and the entire GTM motion fights against the CEO to get their normal job done. The GTM function has good expertise but it basically gets nullified by the CEO. - The engineers are in for a rude awakening and I feel bad for them, they are top class and deserve a better company. CTO is actually decent. - All 5 star reviews are completely fake and bogus. - Product market fit is not as good as initially thought, the larger customers hesitate to add friction to a borrowing process.
