Pros
It’s the reason I work in my current field
Cons
No work life balance, the owner was verbally abusive regularly talking poorly behind the backs of his staff, calling them stupid and incompetent. There were days when I started work at 9am and was there until 9pm because the owner overcommitted to projects and timelines that were unrealistic and then would throw temper tantrums and literally threw his phone at the wall in rage at me. I regularly walked out of the office due to how toxic he made my work environment. He would pitch products to customers that didn’t even exist yet and then expect his staff to prototype and create technology that was functional in unrealistic timelines. I was the only woman on staff for a long period of time, and made less than all of the male staff. He only offered me a raise finally after I told him I wanted to quit.
