Cons
* Small team, heavy workload, no work-life balance * Flexible timing but doesn't matter you'll be working all the time * Inefficient processes, lots of miscommunication, and lack of trust * Lots of micromanagement * Extremely harsh feedback, complete lack of praise * Open office structure causes plenty of distractions, impossible to do deep work * Super fast-paced, not everyone's cup of tea * Plenty of useless meetings * Lack of clarity over expectations * No avenue for constructive complaint (Note: some of the problems were being addressed at the time of leaving)
