Interesting work environment where people seem highly motivated. Cutting edge tech is fun to develop. There are very few “normal” days.

Very blatant discrimination against women; there are 0 women in upper management. The C-suite is all men who are friends or family of the CEO. Goals and initiatives seem short-sighted.

Many people get fired over budget cuts or layoffs at random so that the finance people are happier or the jobs page is “always hiring” new roles. Something like 20% of staff are fired every year. The equity/stocks are worthless because still has no profitable products and is only surviving on private investment.

Firing people all the time makes your talent run away and has the people who do stay living afraid.
