Pros

-> You get to show your nears and dears that you are hustling ( Fake ) -> Salary on time but a session before that by the Founder reminding you how they own you because they pay you peanuts for 15 hours in office.

Cons

-> Fake Hustle culture: Staying n a flat just to show that you are doing something. -> Toxic environment where everyone is just twisting things to save their job. -> If Founder need to prove their point which is wrong also they will argue with you for 5-6 hours. -> " This is not a job for 9-5 seekers "-> Misguided saying used to kill productivity. -> Criteria for salary increase is how well you are pleasing the founders with your words. List goes on but we can say an early stage startup hope they learn.

Pros

Great place to understand how startups actually function behind the scenes. Since it's founder-led, there’s strong transparency and you often get chances to step beyond your defined role. In a short time, I’ve picked up solid hands-on experience in venture capital, scaling strategies, and operations.

Cons

Work-life balance can tilt more toward work during busy phases like cohort launches, but things get much more flexible once the cycle slows down.
