      Do not recommend

      Pros

      The compensation is competitive for San Diego. Interesting tech…but is it ethical? Probably not.

      Cons

      -Nepotism (heads of teams are best friends with leadership or related to them, and they don’t have experience to lead teams) -No diversity (are you a woman or a person of color? you won’t get support here) -Managers don’t know what they’re doing (either from lack of experience or lack of direction from their leadership and they don’t want to rock the boat) -No work life balance (have to work 80+ hours a week and people love to talk about how busy they are)

      Classic smoke and mirrors startup

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Lots of good people - Cool tech - Cool location - Great idea - Career mobility (but heavily skewed toward nepotism) - Lots of passion

      Cons

      - Severe nepotism - Male-dominated, and at times, hostile toward women - Poor work-life balance (40 hr work week will be seen as a failure) - Inept leadership... Seriously, it’s incredibly dysfunctional - Mid-level managers are too junior and have no idea how to actually lead their peers. They try though - Contradictory values - Overpromising and underdelivering… next WeWork, except at least that was successful appearing - Funding round after funding round. You can actually get 1/5 of the way through the alphabet in funding rounds they’ve conducted. Solid indicator that it’ll never go public
