Ask about turnover! If you get an honest answer, ask yourself why most people leave within months.
The CEO’s management style comes across as micromanaging, with unrealistic expectations, and a lack empathy and introspection. It might be disguised as a 'fast-paced startup,' but the reality is that it makes people feel like a toxic environment where employees dread coming to work.
Is that where you want to work?
I recommend doing independent research beyond what the recruiter/founder shares with you to get a realistic view of what it is like to work there.
