They are running a big Scam. They will hire you by saying that you are being hired full time but actually they are hiring a contractor. Once you have completed the project they needed you for, they will fire you for no reason. Barely anyone completes a year here. Other than the core group of 4-5 people no one has been able to stay for more than a year.
The COO is running a one man show and is unable to stabilize the ship because of his childish and egoistic behavior.
Benefits suck and stocks are over valued (you aren't going to complete a year so stocks option is useless anyways).
Product is very buggy and they are not able to improve it because higher management has no direction. Dissatisfied customers are leaving because of this.

Where to begin?
Leadership is smug and childish
Communication is poor
No transparency
Management argues behind and in front of closed doors
People yell
They have a buggy, me-too product that has never gained any traction. No wonder their competitors have left them in the dust. They abruptly laid off half the hard-working engineers and product team last year, marching them out the door, with no notice. Management confuses everybody with the sheer number of product variations, and they have no clue how to hire people. The badly designed security protocol causes unexpected bugs, like chat rooms disappearing.
