Pros

The coworkers are the only reason I stayed.

Cons

-Heavy handed and micro managing senior management -The HR department gossips about employees -The CEO is a racist and a sexist who has no problem telling his direct reports that they are idiots and monkeys. -Look at the executive turnover!! They can't keep a president, VP of sales, operations, or support. The average stay for those positions is 5 months...The only people who last are the people who Philippe brought in to begin with

  • The product hasn't changed in 10 years really
  • The benefits are not in line with the startups you could go to.
Advice to Management

Revamp your HR department from the top down.

Your HR department, without a doubt, is the least professional, most irresponsible, and vindictive one I have ever seen. Your turnover illustrates the lack of culture, and this is fostered and nurtured by those few women who would do better to run a quilting circle than an HR department in Silicon Valley.
