Pros

There was a nice snack bar with whatever you like.

Cons

I was fired and replaced by a buddy hire right before their IPO before they legally have to assign stock options to their staff. Nefarious management who knows no bounds. I got lucky, however, because before me a group of 5 people were fired in their entirety, no questions asked. Be prepared for a cutthroat workplace, or become friends with management.

Advice to Management

Have a strong legal team for unlawful termination.
