Pros

Joining helps build your resume because they have a really competent CTO and CMO

Cons

The CEO refuses to pay employees in anything but hunger games like battles for a few weeks sharing an airbnb like hacker house It's bad enough to work with such a lack of compensation as well as the mass hiring of unpaid interns to do 80% of the work on the app, I also think because of how little they care about the customers, other startups like Geneva chat, have sored way past them. This startup had potential, but now, with all the apps and tools built in this space because of the pandemic, I don't imagine this company lasting another 3 years. They wanted to waste time on changing buttons and with random useless features for college students and lost their timing in the market. There are a few ways they can fix it, but I doubt they would listen to the employees or their app reviews to do so.

Pros

1) I had the opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment that emphasizes the value of time management. 2) The company is a technology startup run by students. From my first day, I felt welcomed and felt like I was a part of the family immediately. 3) If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, you will flourish in Dive's dynamic environment.

Cons

1) Understanding Dive is a startup, there were many changes made during my time there. You need to get comfortable with unanticipated change. 2) My role was sometimes unclear. There were many hats I had to where. At times, my contribution to the company became a blur.
