Absolutely brutal, yet inspiring, illuminating and rewarding

Cons
-Long hours, expect to work the hardest you have ever worked -Lack of continuity and stability - rotating door at key upper-management positions -Priorities shifted arbitrarily and abruptly -Demanding CEO -Work/life balance not very good, high burnout rates -At times, aggressive and unrealistic deadlines and MBOs -Lack of open communications -Stringent benefits policy: WFH and PTO/sick days could be more relaxed
