Pros
- Free gourmet lunch every day - Schedule flexibility and work from home - Get to experience a lot of different roles
Cons
- Frequent employee turnover. I’ve had multiple team members quit after less than 1 year and even pay back signing bonuses just to escape - Everything is a moving target. CEO will approve direction one month but then yell at team next month for doing what he said. Half of our work is discarded after direction changes. - Need to work through nights and weekends and vacations. No real time off away from work. - CEO micromanages individual developers. CEO made a policy that he has to be in every Slack channel. No private communications even within teams - Multiple bosses have competing directives. Not clear who to listen to. Everyone is fighting for themselves to get ahead. - Too much secrecy. Managers tell you to hide important information from other managers - CEO can be verbally and emotionally abusive. Need to have thick skin to work here
