Pros

Work with very motivated, intelligent, and ambitious people. High growth start up where you can learn a lot and (if lucky (cause majority of the time moving up the ladder is not by merit)) can grow within the company.

Cons

While you work with some of the brightest minds, you also work with a bunch of people who are lazy do not own up to their work and there is little to no structure to keep people accountable for work. As a result people work insane hours. Company culture is non existent, this is a company where work life balance is not likely. Management makes rash uncalculated decisions.

Pros

Remote work and flexible timings.

Cons

- Goal posts change weekly. - Poor communication from the top down. - Management goes back on their word several times. - Promised us over time frequently when we joined and then revoked it within a few weeks. - Work load then tripled the next week. - You get pulled into random meetings and assigned work randomly without concern over what you have currently scheduled. - What they say one week will not be valid the next week. - If you ask why about anything, they will tell you to find another job if you don't like it. - Micromanagement culture where everything is measured. If you don't meet unstated goals, they will accuse you of not doing any work. You will lose your mind slowly here.
