Founders set unrealistic goals, but don't have the expertise or willingness to work to achieve them. When targets aren't hit, it's never their fault, and blame goes to the team they hired. Two big layoffs (20% + of the company each time) in two years. Company is encouraged to "future sell" to themselves (ie. think about how great it will be when this is released!), and anyone who talks about how things are in reality is talked about negatively, or let go. They will probably reply to this post by copy pasting the same response about "Open Book Management" whatever that means... but seriously, it's because they don't know how to hire, train and manage their existing team.

All the above pros go down the drain because they missed on some core cultural values. Well where to start :- - You will work tirelessly for years only to hear that you have skill problems, in your appraisal meeting. Which apparently they didn't saw for 3-4 years. - One fine day, half of the company will be gone(fired), which doesn't even shock anyone anymore. - You will never feel respected for what you do. - Unnecessary pressure is built up. - Then of course their are some favourites, who will get the royal treatment, while others get scolded. - They usually scold people who left them on the floor for bad code and stuff, which might be true or false, but that sounds really bad and gives a negative character of the company.
