Cool people Perks include a gym membership Free lunch once a week

Difficult leadership to please. Micromanaging CEO wants to be involved in Dev meetings and insist on designing the tech with spreadsheets. He's never been an engineer. Can't retain upper level management

Pros

Very smart people, great product

Cons

Ineffective CEO who played favorites. Lots of great people left the company because of corporate politics. Hostile if you don't fit the mold or are family friends or college roomates with the CEO
