Pros

-Handful of really great people -Stock options -Can work from home -Unlimited FTA

Cons

-Zero work-life balance -Directors and above can't read data sheets or want to hear real data. -Everything is communicated in a PowerPoint presentation...EVERYTHING. It's like working for toddlers. -Company social media platform, is just a megaphone for the CEO to post tone deafly about his Omega watch while people were being laid off. -Expectations to be available 24/7, respond to emails while on FTA -You either hide your real opinion or say yes to dumb initiatives. This leads to beige ideas and "innovation by committee". -The insane push to be "premium" on everything. The idea customer is the 1%. You make utility items for the internet, not designing Omega watches.
