      Pros

      - You will be squeezed for everything you are/have, in return learn as much as you can from the place and leave. You cannot expect to be there long. - I worked with great people directly on my team and direct leadership (before they were all laid-off, then eventually I was laid-off too).

      Cons

      - Work there 4 years and you'll be in the top 10% of the company who have been there the longest. The (for legal reasons) "possible" reason? At 5 years they dangle in front of you a 5 week paid sabbatical. Expect to not be there for long, sometimes only months. - "Compensation changes are coming!"™ - C-level exec's have very short sighted goals that change at least once daily, and everything is an emergency. Communication of these goals is extremely poor which leads middle managers guessing what C-level's want, always leading to "disappointing" results. - Cult levels of toxic positivity throughout the company. - If they say something won't happen, it will. - Expect Emergency HR all hand meetings over unused slack emoji's or the use of emoji's incorrectly, a wonderful use of everyone's time. - The CEO is in favour of a 996 style working environment. - Rolling silent layoffs
