Inexperienced founders with a good idea and terrible execution
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
High salary. Across the board there is high salaries, paying above industry standard and above local standards.
If you are an engineer/tech oriented, you will have all the freedom. No reporting, minor oversight, no hindrance.
Fascinating idea and enthralling business concept.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Management style: Only the founders (plus the CFO) are management. They don't have ever managed a team and this is very noticeable. Every person that is hired as a people manager is eventually fired or leaves. Avoiding conflict is the standard, and no one else's view/ideas are accepted, except for sycophantic approaches. There is a pseudo-flat hierarchy (no leads, no seniors, no managers) with no reporting, no employee evaluation and therefore no book keeping of any sort. Your word vs theirs. No one except the founders organizes work or workflow. Founders expect employees to be their friends and it acts as a chain of command of sorts: how close are you to them personally, is what counts, not your professional competence.
Agile methodologies: there are standups. Every other space for discussion, debate, or issue raising has been removed. 0 accountability. Work is organized by the teams (100% self regulated), without any vision or planning further than 3 months vista.
Diversity: none. Sexism is standard in the management team.
Development: demo/showcase development. Big improvements are made for videos and showcasing, and it is abandoned or diluted in the project after.

Accept that you cannot humanly control everything.
Ask for professional help, and implement what they suggest.
