No longer a top start-up. Deified mediocre bottom tier leadership.
Pros
- L&D budget. - Unlimited holidays (this is just a bait, if you do what you are really supposed to do there's no time for longer holidays than the standard amount). - Free lunch, fruits and excellent coffee. Nice offices although wrong neighborhood. - Health insurance with Cigna which is a really good one. - Slippers. As you can see these pros are just social benefits. There were not any pros related to the role I was developing. Basically I lost 2 years of my life. The company pretends to be a top-notch tech company but they are completely lost. Salary is not bad. In the past it was above industry benchmark, currently average or below industry.
Cons
To sum up, back in the past, the leadership team was not the best in the world, however they had an idea and they worked wholeheartedly towards it. Then, Joaquim Lecha was appointed as an advisor for the board of directors, suddenly some months later he was appointed COO and then CEO. This was Typeform's death sentence. Joaquim Lecha doesn't have charisma to be a CEO. He doesn't have any clarity and he is extremely boring, nobody is engaged after hearing his discourse. After this, his friends, a new CFO and a new CPO joined typeform. And then the pattern was repeated with other positions. Do you have great ideas that will eclipse the C-level team? Save them and use them in another company. Current C-level team will always believe that are better than you...
