Pros

Great people to work with and the chemistry and culture among employees is fantastic. Benefits are comprehensive and take care of their employees and family. Truly enjoyed working with everyone at Molekule.

Cons

Existing product line is showing its age and the need, and pressure, to get a new product to market is rightfully always there.

Pros

Remote hiring, good PTO policy

Cons

Inefficient processes, poor (or complete lack) of communication from leadership, cliquey attitudes among longtime employees, reactive mindset rather than proactive strategy, and an overall lack of buy-in regarding the business mission and values (it's not about bringing clean air to everyone, it's about selling one of the most expensive air purifiers on the market to the wealthy and giving them at discount or free to influencers and celebrities). The company lays off 25% of its staff each year, fairly consistently. They are still stuck in start-up phase at their 8 year mark and chase clout rather than longterm profits and business sustainability. Then there was the instance of losing their expensive HQ in San Francisco (lease was around $210,000 per month) due to failure to pay, ending up declaring bankruptcy because of it, and blaming the entire situation on local homeless people. I personally watched while the team neglected an expensive endeavor to break into the Canadian market and heard many team members openly state their indifference to making the product available to Canadian customers. A few weeks later, a devastating wildfire hit the north United States and Canada (I believe it was 2023). Guess who was suddenly scrambling and pandering to the Canadian market about needing an air purifier to protect against the deadly gases and particles in the air? It was a typical display of exploitation from a company that thought its biggest flex was paying for a quote calling their product "the Tesla of air purifiers."
