What are the pros of working at your company and/or team?
MarketerHire is a company with solid PMF and a large database of supply (expert fractional marketers) and demand (clients with marketing needs) in the marketing ecosystem. The culture is very metric-driven which is expected at their ARR and decision-making is centered around data.
What are the cons or red flags of working at your company and/or team?
There are four founders (three in operating capacity) but no clear leadership of who owns what. The CEO is the domain expert but is a micromanager who doesn't trust team leads or any non-founder for that matter. There are no clear goals or OKRs. The focus changes too quickly to even allow for experiments to run their course and analyze the data. Recently, they've been replacing US-based employees with talent overseas, and the talent density has decreased rapidly in part because of two rounds of layoffs and hiring junior engineers without oversight.
