Pros

They offer competitive salaries.

Cons

Read contracts you are required to sign very carefully. Anything that seems odd is there for a reason which doesn't reflect well on the company.

Pros

If you enjoy watching the CTO and CEO sparr over the heating settings (in a passive agressive way), then this is the place for you.

Cons

The CEO is an Ayn Rand advocate. The CTO is a narcissist.

Pros

The technology being developed at symbiont is fantastic and, generally, has a great product/market fit. Cutting edge blockchain development and working with some of the worlds biggest financial institutions.

Cons

There are quite a few... 1) The CEO, Mark Smith, shielded his clear inabilities with silence, almost never understanding the status of development or relationships with customers 2) Mark touted his experience and ability to fundraise but when the pressure was on he utterly failed, leaving dozens of intelligent employees without jobs in an awful job market 3) The company over hired, especially at the executive, director, and management level. All of whom never laid a finger on the code or contributed anything worth the massive salaries they were receiving. 4) The CTO posted memes in slack all day 5) In the months leading up to the lay off of ~80% of the company, our payroll was delayed and we were consistently given false hopes about funding issues being resolved "in a few days"
