Pros

It's great working for a company that is always pushing the bounds of tech, it's cool to be a part of it.

Cons

They will track every minute you are working or away. So if you have an upset stomach one day and have to go to the bathroom a lot, prepare to get written up and have a meeting with your manager about time, and it could cost you your job. Also, if you get sick and don't have sick leave (which you are not given sick leave for the first 90 days), you'd better expect to still go to work or don't show up at all.

Pros

Give you stock and that’s it!

Cons

No promotion, to clear path to grow, RM literally micro manage everything and she has zero background and knowledge about the business. Favoritism everywhere! 90% of the talented and OGs are gone
