Pros

WFH is ok, colleagues are generally friendly

Cons

This is a truly horrible company to work at. The main problem is that they don't care about the employee, plain and simple. There is zero respect. To the two founders, every employee owes them a debt of employment. They think you are blessed and lucky to work for them and earn their paycheck. For some people like TEMPORARY INTERNS, this is true. But for most others, this is modern slavery. How do employees thrive? If they feel like their work is valued, and matters. But here, there is no such culture. Here, you are expected to treat the founders like they're your overlords and accept all their disrespect, their verbal and emotional abuse, and their inability to command basic respect.

Pros

There was a lot of work to be done, and new management

Cons

When I was there, unfortunately there was a very toxic employee who gained the trust of leadership- I understand she has since left the company.
