Pros

The technology work itself was interesting and I learned things. The product idea has actual potential.

Cons

• A clear inner circle existed and I was never part of it. • Decisions felt predetermined and fair opportunities were scarce. • Meetings often left me feeling ignored and shut out. • Real collaboration happened in spaces I was excluded from. • Constantly felt like an outsider looking in.

Pros

The team had some talented people who genuinely wanted to build something great.

Cons

- The CEO drives an unsustainable pace that is nearly impossible to keep up with, creating constant extreme pressure. - Workload keeps escalating, with long days becoming the normal expectation. - Burnout spreads across the team and becomes routine rather than rare. - Employees are pushed to keep going even when completely exhausted. - Mistakes and issues pile up, leaving staff to handle the fallout. - Clients become frustrated and strong employees leave in frustration.

Working here was a nightmare...

Pros

A couple of my coworkers were awesome, but most of them quickly left to find better opportunities.

Cons

One of the most chaotic companies I have ever worked for. Expectations are unreasonable, deadlines are unrealistic, schedules are inconsistent, management neglects to provide support, etc. Trust me when I say working here felt like a nightmare...
