Pros
- Young & enthusiastic talent - Chill vibe, no dress code - Free clothes every month - Startup culture so you have opportunities to take on new roles - If you're young and attractive, you've got a pretty good chance at landing a job you're completely unqualified for
Cons
- You're going to have to cancel your Netflix subscription because the company culture will be all the drama you need. "I accept responsibility for this!" - said no one ever at Five Four - Remember those obnoxious guys from class? You'll be thinking, "how did I end up on this Access Hollywood bus?" - Vacation hours don't start accruing until you work 6 months. Don't expect to get your vacation approved though since everyone's stretched really thin and you don't wanna let the team down, right? - High turnover rate means no one knows what they're doing - Cramped workspace so always be ready for an impromptu game of Tetris whenever the Fire Department comes around - CEOs/investors will often circumvent established workflow to give you new directives. Expect to hear "So I know it's launching tomorrow, but [CEO/investor] wants this instead" on a regular basis - You have to find out everything through gossip. I have literally seen coworkers not come in to work one morning and then their replacement sits down at their seat with no explanation. At least there were snacks in the kitchen to feed the huge elephant in the room
