The pay is not competitive to the market—especially as it pertains to the oppressive expectations and unrealistic

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

There seems to be no interest in investing in current team members as the company evolves. There is no direct path of career development in the company and no opportunities for training or leveling up. The minute KPIs aren't met the threat of being replaced surfaces.

What did you like most about the interview process?

The interview process was standard. The onboarding process after hire was substandard and with it being a fully remote team, they really need to create a process that is more seamless and less like feeling like you're being plunged into the deep end of the pool.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The ambition of the founders is apparent, but they are divorced from the reality in what it requires to actually get the job done - especially in regards to time frame. Very often large initiatives will be brought up with a very short turnaround (e.g. the homepage redesign).

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

KPIs need to be aligned with the resources available. If resources change, the KPIs need to adjust to reflect that in a realistic way, not an optimistic way. The prioritization needs to be crystal clear and the whiplash of moving from one project to another needs to be slowed down.

What are some of the best things about your team?

The one bright spot in this company outside of the poor leadership at the top is that the teams of worker bees are made up of some of the brightest, talented minds. They're good people who are invested in a shared mission. And if they had enough resources and direction/leadership, they would soar.
