Worst place I've ever worked in
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Co-founder that was undermining another co-founder and basically squeezed him out of the company.
The only skill CEO had is selling. Most of the time he was feeding bs to investors instead of counting money, hiring the right people and doing actual work. Company values was vaguely described and couldn't be ever formalised. It was always about buzz-words "Disruptive, purpose-driven, collective intelligence" but they were never backed-up by any meaning behind them.
How to fail your startup:
1. Hire your friends to pay them salary and burn money without any practical purpose. Clearly hire more than you actually need.
2. Squeeze out anyone who is smart enough to question your methods of "Leadership"
3. Be openly toxic with your colleagues and openly try to lower their self-esteem.
4. Be sure to show them that they are getting 'market salary' when they asking for a raise
5. Never share responsibility, always a highly directive approach
6. Hire an AI/Data scientist when you actually have no data to work on, just to pitch other buzz-words like "AI" to investors.
7. Fire people when they just can't read your thought, thoughts are always better than TASKS right, you don't have time for that.
8. Keep going, burn that investors money, you can do it.
9. Create a kickstarter campaign in a desperate attempt to salvage what you've ruined. And get like 20 bucks in 3 months.
10. Success - you've burned all your and investors money, and had an amazing experience terrorising people, killed two birds with one stone - isn't it amazing?
By the way. I know how to read Zeugnis, they've hidden some messages there, turns out some people can't get over breakup. Glad that normal companies don't even need it. Giving people Note 2 to Note 3 just because they don't want to work with you anymore, not because they were doing a bad job is childish.
