Pros

You are responsible for starting a business from scratch. This means that you have complete freedom in terms of your hours and pay. The more you work the more you make, and there is no one looking over your shoulder telling you what to do. There is a lot of freedom and the potential to make a lot of money in a relatively short period of time.

Cons

On the flip side, if you don't put in the time and effort you won't make much. The job was almost completely commission based and asking a recent college graduate to build a business from scratch is easier said than done. There is a very high attrition rate in the industry because most people are simply not cut out for this kind of work.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
