Pros

If you're a people pleaser, you'll last here forever.

Cons

The CEO will work you to the bone and pay you a pittance to do it. He (and therefore the company) is highly disorganized. He constantly forgets everything he asks you to do, looks to blame you at every turn, has unreasonable expectations, overloads you with work that no single person can sanely handle. You will be interrupted and distracted throughout the day with calls & "urgent" tasks, thus affecting your productivity and workflow. And when you are unable to handle a supremely stupid workload as a result of the distractions, guess what.... it's your fault! The employees are miserable, but no one tells him the truth to his face. If you do, he'll start looking for excuses to throw you out. I saw this played out again and again during the time I was there. The culture is supremely toxic, but you'd never guess it going in. It's only many weeks later that you realize you've stepped into a vortex of slime and doom where the power-hungry CEO plays out his deepest desires to lord it over people (his employees).

Pros

Loooove the team! Everyone is ready to hustle every day and we can all count on each other to brainstorm up new ideas and execute them properly! Everyone has a voice and has the chance to speak up about an idea if they truly believe in it. Great for creative thinkers.

Cons

Working with a 100% remote team is amazing but there are definitely times I wish I could meet with my team in person ( i.e. Christmas parties)
