I've worked in plenty of startups, or companies experiencing rapid growth. I've never worked anyplace other than MJ Freeway that was so chaotically disorganized. It starts at the top with Amy and Jessica. They tout their ethical approach to doing business and how their employees are treated. Might want to check out their turnover, which is very, very high. Nepotism and favoritism abound, including hiring relatives into leadership roles. Ethics are situational. Leadership style is bullying and belittling, despite talking about how important their employees are and how enlightened leadership is. Why do people stay? The hope that eventually the company will sell and their internal equity grant will amount to something. They have chronic denial of service attacks, their systems go down with some regularity, they have no strategic plan and it's a wonder they keep the doors open. Salaries are poor. And while they pay the cost of benefits, the benefits are so bad as to be laughable. It's an interesting industry, on the plus side. But there are a lot of shady people involved in this industry, which is in its infancy in terms of being legal in most states, so plan to work with some interesting ethics when you're in the field.
