Pros
The Coworkers: You will form trauma bonds with your teammates that are stronger than most marriages. Resume Building: You’ll learn how to do the jobs of a Success Manager, Software Engineer, and QA Tester simultaneously because the actual software is essentially a decorative screensaver. Fitness: You'll get plenty of cardio from the "pivots" every time a new C-suite executive lasts for three weeks before vanishing into the night.
Cons
The "Tech" Stack: Don't worry about the platform's bugs; the company has a revolutionary solution called "working until 2:00 AM to fix it manually." Who needs automation when you have human suffering? Generous Hours: They really push the 40-hour work week—by doing it twice every seven days. It’s a great place if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have a 70-hour-a-week hobby that pays you in "experience" instead of cost-of-living adjustments. Management Transparency: The leadership team is very mysterious. One day a VP is there, the next day their Slack account is a ghost town and the CEO is gaslighting you into believing they never existed. It’s like John Wick, but with less logic and more spreadsheets. Vacation Policy: You are free to take PTO, provided you enjoy the soothing glow of your laptop at 11:00 PM in your hotel room. The "coverage" promised by leads is more of a theoretical concept—like the product's functionality. Culture of Martyrdom: If you don't derive your entire self-worth from being exploited, you might feel a bit out of place. The badge of honor here is a stress-induced eye twitch. Staffing Levels: They hire with the same enthusiasm they use for software updates—which is to say, they don't. Why hire two people when you can just watch one person slowly disintegrate?
