Pros
Good technology in a hot market (AI, machine learning, etc.) Most of the staff is young and just out of university Good location
Cons
Founder/CEO is a techie in his late 50s/early 60s with no mabagement skills whatsoever and even less business acumen. Other companies operating in the same space were set-up, grew and successfully sold in less than half the time he has been in business. Condescending with anyone who is not a PhD (ie all but one). Exploitative - will get you in at well below market rates on the promise that the few share options you'll receive will largely compensate once the cie is sold (guess what! It's unlikely to happen if he remains in the driving seat) Be especially wary of his never ending speeches about "honesty"; a word he rarely applies to himself Most of the outstanding reviews on Glassdoor are either written by him or one of his minnows, so come in with eyes wide open.
