Pros
Interesting technology and great co-workers who are knowledgable. Free food Very nice office space. Lots of flexibility.
Cons
The combination of first time CEO + first time VP of engineering is amazing. As expected they make horrendous decisions every time. There are few people (privileged) who get away by doing terrible blunders. The management will consistently find other people to blame for someone else mistakes and their own horrendous management decisions. Instead of fixing the real issue (50+ moving parts in a simple system) the facade of redesign is amazing. The CEO many time uses very derogatory statements example: “I put food on your table” and “I can get 25 beautiful Ukrainian girls to do your job for cheap”. Unrealistic timelines and ever changing priorities. If one loves to work 24/7 or be a slave this place is for you. Offshore team does what they want to do and will not listen to your instructions or design. In meetings people will start to raise the voices and bang tables, which is totally unprofessional. Few people who are promoted to directors from engineers ; they feel empowered to yell. Misrepresentation of power by using the "passion card" even if it is borderline abusive. There is zero scope for innovation as one is constantly fighting fires and bad overall design issues. Developers are so over worked that they just want to get the code done and not think of proper way to implement. Do your research throughly before joining.
