Pros

You get a free metal card as an employee,free drinks in the fridge and Thirsty Thursday, however this is standard with most startups nowadays so nothing really unique.

Cons

This is not the place if value your mental health or work/life balance. You get told the company culture is work 12 hours a day for 7 days which the CEO constantly says in all his interviews. Which is understandable if you are were one of the first employees with lots of stock options to join however to expect someone to 84 hours a week for the same salary as you can make at Google or Facebook, doesn't make sense. Employees get spoken to like crap, the CEO sends out an email threatening employees with being fired if they don't meet their targets every 3-6 months which is always nice to know your CEO doesn't care. We've had 5 different people do the role of Head of People in 18 months, no-one sticks around as the CEO gets rid of them. I'll be leaving as soon as I find a better company and more competent senior management.
