CEO - Truly a horrible human being - Anonymous employee Stanza Employee Review

I’ve worked at Stanza for more than half a year. I was eager to take on this role because it allowed me to wear multiple hats (this was exactly the type of role I was looking for when I applied). I get to have my hands in so many things here, which has expanded my skill set and has given me a holistic view of the company. I have the freedom to just run with things that I think would be good for the company. I also think the product is great and will be getting better. I love the culture at Stanza, and I am striving to make it even better. I wake up in the morning looking forward to going to “work”. The team here have become my friends, and I feel like Stanza is my little family away from home. I have the opportunity to work with the exec team, and mostly with the CEO/Founder. I can tell you that she is one of the hardest working women I have ever been around. Stanza is her baby and she strives to make sure we are going in the right direction and that the employees are happy and are able to work on things that they believe in. I really enjoy working with her and the team here. Yes it has its ups and downs, but that is just startup life. Nothing is perfect. You have to roll with the punches and be an adult.

Very fast paced. You have to be able to keep up with that, but that is very common in a startup atmosphere.

Cool product, lots of autonomy, great team

Everyone got laid off with no notice or severance
