Pros

* Very much a 'build' organization, great if you like building products from scratch without requirements, resources or time * Lots of press, Techcrunch features Techstars frequently, * Work life balance, there's no accountability so feel free to answer slack messages while you're at the park with your dog

Cons

* Poor working environment, some colleagues flaunt their wealth, slacking about their $6M home with a built-in horse stable, while others are eating ramen noodles for lunch * Zero career opportunities * Lacks basic coordination and strategy. We learned about a new direction in the company from a press release * Disorganized management team * Relies on hero development instead of working together
