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.

Management has failed; company is dying.

Pros

The science is still compelling.

Cons

A lot of senior, experienced, and/or well-respected staff have voluntarily left or are leaving - many have been recently forced out. Current management doesn't know how to run a company, at least not a successful one with happy employees. The recent "reduction in force" hurt morale in a way that is probably unfixable, and rumors of another RIF round have a lot of people worried. Newer senior leadership is clueless about companies our size, and have introduced a lot of toxic politics and fear into the organization.

Toxic culture driven by ego-centric and erratic CEO

Pros

The people you work with are the smartest in the industry and you get to work on some really interesting technology.

Cons

The CEO is seen as someone who prevaricates widely and has questionable to outright bad decision-making, leading to constant changes in direction, lack of trust from employees and an exodus of respected leaders across the company. And it's getting worse.
