Pros

Honestly very little pros.. aside from maybe the people you'll work with directly (your direct peers) who are genuinely kind and passionate people just trying to to do their best in a dysfunctional and disorganized environment.

Cons

1. Everything. From pay to management to leadership to company strategy. All of these are non-existent. CEO built an echo chamber around himself with yes-men and all every other executive does the same. 2. Company has no long term viable strategy other than trying to win and begging for big deals which eventually churn anyway. No real innovation. 3. CTO thinks he's the next Elon Musk but can barely articulate his thoughts in any meaningful manner. 4. Company is moving most of its laborforce to China and that team/department is so disconnected from customer wants and needs. (do your customers even want AI as part of their hiring pipeline??) 5. Pay is abysmal, coming at below market rates 6. Work-life balance is non-existent with meetings past 6-7pm on a daily basis typical and expected

Pros

- Generally high level of ownership and autonomy - Pay is fair for the right role/location - Culture of honest and open feedback - Startup/small company facilitates exposure to/learning about many business functions + sometimes senior leadership team/founders

Cons

- Benefits are weak (generally expected for a startup) - Lack of mature internal processes - Lack of development/coaching for early career talent (but the right self-starter personality can definitely still thrive)
