      Pros

      - Work with well known clients - Pushes people to be more successful - Remote friendly

      Cons

      - In an onboarding meeting, we were told "if you don't dedicate your entire life to this company, I will help update your resume and show you the door" from the CEO. - Leadership is extremely micromanagy. Expect 7 am slacks asking about highly unimportant issues - Zero culture. Employees barely know each other and compete with each other openly, this is encouraged - No nuance in KPI management. Off two days for being sick? Hit your numbers. Only have 2 open submission slots? Hit your numbers. Very black and white. - Incredible turnover, constant change in leadership, processes, expectations - 1000 slack channels make for confusing communication and updates - Driven by fear, not hope. Struggling? Better get it together fast, with the only advice or help being "do better"

      Pros

      Strong entrepreneurial mindset with real ownership and autonomy. Leadership encourages initiative, creative problem-solving, and building new ideas from the ground up. Great environment for self-starters who want to make an impact.

      Cons

      Must be quick on your feet! Priorities may shift quickly, requiring comfort with ambiguity and rapid change.
