Pros
I worked with a really sharp team of ICs at Proton - some of the smartest I've worked with.
Cons
The CEO is too inexperienced for his role. He's very smart about the product and industry, but struggles immensely leading the company. He dominates every conversation, doesn't leave room for others to speak and provide input, and micromanages to the highest extent, I assume because he's not sure how else to function. He also struggles with making inappropriate comments about individual employees in group settings, which creates a "cover your a**" culture where everyone is afraid to be in his targets next.
