Pros

Personal atmosphere as company is small, may get to attend cool events

Cons

The CEO Danny is a nightmare and the whole setup is very unprofessional. She really doesn’t know how to run a company and is currently in the ‘young and making lots of money’ phase so each day is filled with hearing about her new chef or a gift a celebrity gave her… all while she’s paying you the absolute minimum with basically nonexistent benefits. Just really do not recommend working here…

Pros

- Your teammates will likely be smart, creative, and supportive—because they have to be, in order to survive. - If you want to learn resilience the hard way, this is your bootcamp.

Cons

- Leadership communicates with little regard for professionalism or respect. Feedback is often public, personal, and degrading. - The CEO regularly speaks to employees in a way that would not fly in any other workplace I’ve experienced. There is no sense of psychological safety. - Priorities shift constantly. Expectations are unclear, and direction is reactive rather than strategic. - There is no structured career path, meaningful mentorship, or long-term employee investment. - Work-life balance is a joke. Expect late-night messages, weekend demands, and zero respect for boundaries. - Experts are hired, then ignored. The CEO routinely inserts herself as the non-existent authority on everything, which stalls progress and demoralizes the people actually hired to do the work.
