Pros
Some remote flexibility. Good to be away so that you pretend you don't work at this company.
Cons
If you think this product is going to change marketing, walk away. Top guy lacks vision and leads by fear. Stock options are probably worthless since leadership seeks control, not wealth. If you think you can influence the company culture, walk away. Leaders could care less what you think. They'll do some hand waving to shut you up and go about business as usual. The top guy decides the culture, you're just a peon doing his bidding before he gets rid of you. If you think the company has a diverse and inclusive team, walk away. Hispanic men everywhere and hiring more. Speaking of machismo, many female leaders left before their first year ended and sometimes conversations are only in Spanish, even if some people on the team don't speak a word of it. If you think there are opportunities to grow with this company, walk away. Leaders have an issue handing out Senior roles if you're starting off. If the top guy doesn't like you, you will never succeed. Beware! His temper is fleeting and constantly changing. If you think the opportunity and company is too good to be true, walk away. Don't be fooled by the startup glow and diverse team. You are and will always be the last person on the top guys mind. Find another company whose leader went to a good university, earned their role based on hard work and not privilege, managed many quality SaaS companies for years, and has a bright outlook. Walk away because you're not gonna find that here.
