Working here was an absolute nightmare...

Pros

Perks & health benefits, if it's important to you.

Cons

Startup is a sinking ship. Restructuring took place that left employees feeling very untrustworthy and uncertain of leadership team, management, and their futures at the company. Morale and energy reached a dangerous low that the company just couldn't seem to recover from it. Leadership team cleaned house, and then left, either forced or resigned. Managers are a mixture of way too hands off, or up in your face micromanagers. Department heads, all the way up to VP's are incompetent, and don't have any business managing people. Hard work seemed to always go unnoticed. WAY too much internal politics for such a small, and now very lean company.

Pros

You get to work with the best people in their field. Everyone shares the excitement of unleashing something potentially big. A lot of employees have academic background and love to teach, so there are plenty of opportunities to learn.

Cons

There has been high employee turnaround at every level, but when people do leave, they generally go to reputable companies or start their own.
