Pros

Startup Comp was ok Some people were nice Tech stack Freedom

Cons

Lack of Transparency. I was fired 1 month into probation, and the reason was not working hard enough. I never received any feedback about it, always received positive feedback about the work I was doing and the projects I was helping build. There was also never a sense of urgency or deadlines, so not sure why they wanted me to grind for nothing.
