Pros

Pay is competitive and good. Overall benefits are fine. The technology is cool and ground breaking. You can bring your dog to work.

Cons

Extremely toxic leadership behavior. Overallocation of scope to resources. Unrealistic expectations. Leadership approach is to squeeze as much output from its employees as possible while providing as little as possible recognition or compensation for efforts. No meaningful equity. Leadership said they have no plans to exercise the stock options that were issued to some employees.
