Pros

Hidden Gems Amidst the Chaos: $15 Free Lunch and Downtown LA's Oasis of Competence

Cons

Where do I even start? If surviving not one, but four rounds of layoff in both 2022 and 2023 hasn't already screamed 'Run for the hills!', then hold onto your hyperloops! This once bustling company now boasts a grand total of 20+ engineers, alongside the CEO's trusty woofers (yes, you heard that right), a legal expert, a two-person HR team, and the email lady. It's like a post-apocalyptic office with a hint of eccentricity. As for projects, well, forget about those! All that remains is a software pipe dream concocted by some guy from Europe. And brace yourself for the highlight of the show: the CEO himself, masquerading as an engineer while wielding a 'shut up' wand for anyone daring to mention concepts he can't comprehend. It's a comically brutal mix of shrinking resources, delusion, and the occasional bark. Welcome to the circus, folks!

Pros

Really, really smart and equally good people at the lower levels Flexible working hours Lots to learn and stretch your role

Cons

Compensation is below market average Bad executive management/bad board decisions Lots of upheaval (and no, not like a typical startup - way worse: 3 CEOs in a year isn't normal) Minimal transparency since Jay was ousted
