Where to begin?

Pros

Good people, even if some of them are checked out

Cons

Ugh. Where to begin. The biggest problem is the weak leadership almost across the board. Almost everyone at the VP level is a pushover, fairly novice and/or are ultimately out for themselves. Most people encounter a dozen road blocks to their work because leadership is too incompetent to remove them, is unwilling to enable you, or doesn't see how it could fit into their scheme for advancing themselves. Most of the departments are poorly structured, even for a startup. For a small company, the groups are very siloed and unwilling to really coordinate on the most basic of things. Every initiative is poorly executed from start to finish, has a ton of bloat, and often has someone like the CEO or a VP join in on a meeting and wreck the progress of the initiative with their uninformed opinion on the matter.

Incomprehensibly poor leadership

Pros

* Opportunity to learn quickly * Office is located in a nice area of San Francisco * Free lunch on Fridays

Cons

* A few months ago the entire company had to complete a culture survey. The results were abysmal and yet management has made no changes since. * CEO cannot lead, period. It's a very sad one-man-show. * For only 40-something people, Zipongo is an extremely top-heavy company

A toxic company that can't handle their money.

Pros

- The work that you do—theoretically—really helps people with their health and food security.

Cons

- Leadership is toxic - Salaries aren't THAT good - No transparency - Somehow managed to squander—IN ONE YEAR—a $250M injection from TPG so badly that they had to lay off a large number of people. How this happens? I don't know. - Executives somehow think that they, plus AI can take care of all of the problems, even though this leadership has seen them miss all of their targets. - Company has been top heavy for over a year
