TL;DR: Even the most resilient people burn out FAST here. Why? Very little time off. Emotional abuse. Blatant favoritism. CEO possesses little or no empathy, has unrealistic expectations, can't take feedback, and expects everyone's lives to revolve around her company. If they don't change their ways, they're going to drown in lawsuits from employees who suffer work-related mental and physical anguish and disability. Exceedingly high voluntary turnover. Talk a good talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion, but once you're behind the scenes you see they don't walk the walk. CEO regularly throws temper tantrums and berates employees in front of their peers/teammates on Slack, email, Zoom meetings, in person. Who she pretends to be in front of her customers/audience is completely different than who she is behind the scenes. Character assassination of former employees on public Slack channels. Not being a good fit for a company is one thing, but the CEO and her spouse unjustly and cruelly attacked former employees' character and intelligence. Employees are expected to be "coachable," while the executives doing the coaching do not practice ethical, consensual coaching and are unwilling to hear feedback themselves or do introspective work. Promised employees generous paid holidays and PTO, but burned employees out by constantly creating new projects, events, having unrealistic expectations, leading to the vast majority of the team working holidays and enjoying very little time off.

Excessive micromanagement, inadequate communication, unprofessional behavior/inappropriate remarks from the CEO about team members and frequent shifts in expectations made this a terrible experience! The CEO lacks family responsibilities and is oblivious to the needs of those with them. Her persistent messaging via WhatsApp and email, even during weekends were evident of a complete lack of consideration for employees personal lives. There are no official “business hours” so you’re often expected to be on call to help out. Poor planning results in a near constant slew of last-minute projects, necessitating extensive night and weekend work. There is a total absence of accountability for the CEO's actions with her poor behavior constantly being brushed aside, made light of or excuses made. Executive leadership is inept and the primary concern seems to be placating the CEO, hindering meaningful improvements and rendering the rest of the team powerless to drive change. This company has a lot of potential but it’s overshadowed by the chaotic and unprofessional environment. Not worth the headache.
