Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

Interesting and innovative product that has a mission (in theory)

Minpunten

The worst place I've ever worked, bar none. The founders (Kim and Josh) are married, which they never disclose to anyone, and bring their personal drama into the work place (crying, drama, you name it. awk.) There are constant layoffs and the founders always hide and make sure they're out of town. They have never been present for a layoff, instead sending off lackees to deal with dirty work. they are uncaring humans who dont know how to manage a team or a budget. The founders have no idea how to sell a product and actively disregard customer feedback, calling buyers names behind their backs in internal meetings. this disrespect clearly flows into how they treat sales. they bought a tesla cybertruck with no regard to how customers would react (hint: not good!) huge waste of money. they treat their black employees particularly badly, with a layoff orchestrated to fire one person. no marketing. cfo enables poor behavior. shady finances. investors either dont care or have no clue. run far far away.
