Typical Tech Start-Up Vibe, Terrible Work-Life Balance

Business Outlook

Pros

Free catered lunch every day, free access to breakfast foods, healthy snacks and beverages, each employee given a Macbook Air and dual monitors to use while employed, can order dinner from corporate Seamless acct if you work past 8pm, company reimburses taxi ride home if you work past 10pm, gym reimbursement program, nice open office space with lots of windows and natural light

Cons

very little real privacy due to the "shared space" design, all the little perks trick you into working extremely long hours, horrible work-life balance with your boss expecting answers from you at all hours of the night, even when home sick, chastised for how many sick days you take despite their "unlimited sick/mental health day" policy, low salary for the amount of work expected, higher-ups more focused on expansion of brand than retention of employees, HIGH turnover due to lack of respect for employees
