Pros

You end up meeting a few smart folks among those who get hired

Cons

Lack of transparency from leadership at all levels. Lack of support for mid managers. Continual layoffs with emphasis on maintaining velocity of business. Lack of clear direction or sense of purpose. Heavy oversight from founder in even small projects. Coercion to join failing mobile service even if it’s a burner phone. The change makers end up getting fired or leaving bc they make too many waves for those who uphold the archaic status quo of things….
