Highly stressful & high uncertainty
Things move fast, and you will learn a lot of new stuff in a relatively short period of time. Compensation is well above peer Internet companies if you are able to deliver really good work.
Work-life balance is bad.
Company always tries to brainwash you to work harder.
Projects are not well planned. A lot of waste of resources on useless or redundant projects.
Your performance is evaluated against other colleagues in your team. If everybody works hard, it needs some luck and takes a lot of extra effort to not be evaluated as an "under-performer".
