Pros
- Some world class people, both in technical and in soft skills. - The disruptive technology and amount of patents is amazing and can really amount to something in the near future - if "something" changes. - Office in a great location and with above-average conditions.
Cons
- Nepotism off the charts. You may not even see so much nepotism in family businesses. If you say "amen" to every single thing the CEO says, your growth is unlimited (and I mean unlimited - even if you never worked at another company before, and fail multiple times, you can climb to C-levels just like that). As soon as you disagree with him on something, you're halfway out the door. If you directly point out his flaws, bye-bye. - 1900s work culture enforced in a start-up. Fun and flexible work is promised, but definitely not delivered. Demonization of remote work is laughable. - Asking your employees to post fake reviews on Glassdoor to mask the reality, causing over 1/3 of the entire reviews of a 7-year company to come from a 2-week span? I mean... Come on, show some decency!
