Dysfunctional workplace with no respect for employees
Pros
You'll learn a lot — mostly about what a dysfunctional workplace looks like.
Cons
Where to begin. This company has zero respect for your time or any semblance of work-life balance. Expect to have your boundaries pushed constantly with no acknowledgment or compensation for it. Even worse, don't count on your contract meaning anything — commitments made in writing are treated as suggestions when it's convenient for leadership. There's no HR department, and that's not an accident. It's a deliberate choice, because an actual HR function would expose the mountain of issues this company doesn't want documented or addressed. Employees have no real avenue for raising concerns, which means problems fester and nothing ever gets resolved. Meanwhile, the founders are doing just fine. The compensation disparity between leadership and the people doing the actual work is jarring — and demoralizing once you see it up close.
