Pros

Tech stack is awesome. Sometimes free lunch. The developers they have are of a high caliber. The CEO has his head on straight.

Cons

Its like a dysfunctional family reunion at the management level. Some of the higher ups refuse to even talk to each other directly, almost using the CEO as a proxy. Lots of turnover should be a red flag. Way more work than can be accomplished by the team, expectations of working way more than one should even for a startup (up to 90+ hours in a week if you take Sunday off). No clear goals even on a day to day level. Projects are scrapped when mostly complete due to a "change in direction". Scrum is a joke here, as its simply one person deciding how much work each sprint will encompass with no valuation of previous velocity; Complaints in retrospectives are explained away / ignored. Little to no respect for employees. Sometimes, it even devolves into public shaming and yelling by management to employees.

Pros

After working in several start ups over the past decade, Vertical Mass is shaping up to be one of the top companies I've worked for. The vision and strategy is clear, expectations are fair and there is room to help out across departments. My co-workers are generous with their genius and are super collaborative. Looking forward to growing with the company!

Cons

Every start up has it's growing pains, and there is nothing here that is unsurmountable.
