Pros: One of the best paying jobs in the industry. WFH provides better work-life balance.
Technology is cutting-edge, with a CEO who has a genius vision and branding strategy. It's fast-paced but generally very forgiving in terms of performance if your efforts are clearly visible. However, missing delivery deadlines is unforgivable.
Cons: Can be a toxic work environment. It's a flat organization where internal fights for attention and backstabbing are common. The upper executive level has a bully type mentality with arrogance that trickles downhill. They don’t know what they don’t know sometimes, and if ideas are brought to light, they ridicule them until the CEO thinks of it, and suddenly they are great ideas. If you are thick-skinned and can stand the golden handcuffs, then come aboard!
