      Lacking a moral compass

      Business outlook

      Pros

      very interesting business model; wide variety of possible technological areas; a possibility in the early days of great returns

      Cons

      management is composed of narcissists; management completely lacks a moral compass; management believes that it is acceptable to betray employees and take advantage of anyone; management does not believe in the concept of a win-win or level playing field - if they cannot take advantage of others, they won't participate

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Some very smart and nice people, but sadly humanity seems to reduce as you go up the chain. You almost feel a part of cool stuff happening - but unfortunately <10% of the company is doing "cool" stuff, the rest feels like overhead. There's free snacks and parking.

      Cons

      - Lack of vision, leadership, transparency, and accountability - Executives tend to create echo chambers and self preservation bubbles whilst squandering time and money into self rewarding fiefdoms at the detriment of regular workers - Crippling politics is more important than doing the right thing and accomplishing tasks - Lack of meaningful career advancement, whilst executives tend to move about, promote and re-land without issue - Depression and fatigue are common

      Results matter less than proving you're smart.

      Pros

      Some of the smartest, most dynamic free-thinkers I've ever met. Learn something new every day. Compensation is very strong.

      Cons

      A business that doesn't value teamwork or bring out the best in its people. People don't feel appreciated, and don't give their best as a result. People get into work late, leave early, and either don't last long or learn to manage their frustration. Lots of negativity every day.
