Pros
Some nice colleagues to work around until they wise up and quit. Casual environment in a trendy part of town.
Cons
The time commitment is literally absurd. Working hours are 9 am to whenever the CEO decides people can leave (usually 7-9 pm) Taking a lunch break is highly discouraged. Making employees overtime exempt allows the CEO to essentially skirt minimum wage laws. The business operates like a middle school classroom where essentially you turn in assignments to the condescending CEO who then gives you corrections when it is convenient for her schedule which is the only reason such insane hours are required. The workload is not commensurate with the time demanded. The CEO pretends there are office managers responsible for logistics but as far as I could tell they were just gatekeepers to her inbox since every decision was hers to make. I get having a vision for your start up but her level of trust in her employees was a joke. Her commitment to controlling everything basically renders her employees slave minions on call for whatever menial task she will have time to check and critique. I felt so sorry for clients who were all small business owners trying to get on their feet who were clearly throwing their money away hiring SBC.
