Pros

"Wellness room" in the Soho office complete with yoga mats and a bookshelf containing Peter Thiel's memoir.

Cons

This startup has now laid off all but a few remaining employees. This was the most toxic and disorganized place I've ever worked. I felt like I was living in an episode of Black Mirror or something. When something objectively bad would happen -- mass layoffs, missed business objectives, lost revenue, website archive deleted forever, etc -- everyone I spoke to would say what a great opportunity this was. Sorry, what?? CEO is (or, more accurately, was) surrounded by "yes men." Leaders of various departments had little to no experience in what they were in charge of doing. The Org scaled without first achieving product-market fit. It's running out of money, and after a few major waves of layoffs (in which laid off employees were offered a meager one-month's severance pay), it's basically no longer operating.
