Pros

It's a job, not a good one, but a job.

Cons

Where to start.........management for one. The classic Euro "boss" who has the look of a cult leader and up tight staff. This made the workday uncomfortable since the leadership needs to set the tone and it's very important for them to make an inviting environment for anyone in the office.

Pros

The engineers were truly top-notch. Really, they were very fortunate to recruit the early engineers that they did. Cyriac is smart. He could sell salt water on a beach. The product may very well achieve a measure of success, despite the terrible engineering culture.

Cons

I accepted a 40% pay cut because I was excited about the product and wanted to work at a startup. That was idiotic. The engineering management was terrible, they would swoop in and micromanage and then ignore you for weeks or months at a time. There was no career growth or camaraderie or trust in individual engineers' domain expertise. This was the single worst year of my life, career-wise. All of the people I most liked and respected have since moved on. However, I still have stock there, so for that reason I truly hope they succeed. :P
