- terrible comp
when pnl is low, you will get no bonus, salary cuts, and comp restructuring
when pnl is high, you will get the ceo cutting pre-agreed comp and pnl split
equity contract is vague and ambiguous. realistically there will be no dividends as they will reinvest all profits.
- toxic upper management
you will be openly berated and screamed at for any mistakes big or small if the ceo is in a bad mood
you are expected to commit 100% and sacrifice family, health, etc. for the company (or you will face threats of being fired and told your worthless)
