Pluspunten
• Meaningful corporate mission. Helping small businesses is cool. • Great benefits (not just the free pizza - the health and wellness benefits are great too). • You get to work with some smart people.
Minpunten
• Changes their business strategy on a dime. One month you're going after specific markets, another month you're going after different ones, another month you're focused on B2C, another you're just focused on B2B. The company doesn't seem to have enough faith in its approach so changes its mind regularly on what will work. • After years in the business, still has no clear idea of how to engage efficiently with pizzeria owners. • Laid off a really large group of NY-based employees, during the height of COVID-19, then announced a Series C funding round just a few weeks later. They are now re-hiring for a number of those roles that they laid off, suggesting those layoffs may have been to make improvements on the bottom line in order to attract that investment. This is bad/shady at the best of times, but completely heartless during a pandemic when unemployment is at an all-time high. • The CEO is extremely proud, stubborn, and defensive. When challenged about problems in the business, such as cultural issues, layoffs, and misalignment on strategy, he is known to be defensive and question people's loyalty or suitability for the company. • Hired a number of C-suite folks who butted heads with trusted leaders and employees in the business as they came in and wanted to do things their way. • Has a lot of big ideas but is often unwilling to invest the necessary $$$ in executing against them.
