Pros

Some genuinely great people. Nice location, boot camp some afternoons. There were some nice team events. Great place to be when management is away. I'm really struggling t make up the 20 words here.

Cons

As the title implies, nothing is as it seems. So much felt false or untrue. In a desperate scramble to keep things going, management is prepared to say whatever is needed to staff, clients and whoever else.... Even if it is untrue and even if it goes directly against the advice from the staff who really do know. A lot of money was wasted on excessive trips, conferences, diners that directly benefited the CEO, not the company itself. Perhaps there is a bigger agenda... Culture is something that needs to be acted on by everyone, not just demanded by the CEO. People can't be bullied into having great culture. It just doesn't work! Probation periods are for both staff and management. No one is the perfect fit straight away. Feedback needs to be given in both directions so that teams grow together. Don't just make it a one sided affair and toward the end of probation let someone go because YOU haven't put the effort in.

Pros

Some of the people you work with will be worth this 20 word minimum. Some will not be.

Cons

This place is 100% NOT a startup. It has a CEO who pretends to know everything about startup life - but it's actually just a bank funded fraud. No equity is offered, only 'promised'. Here's how it's going to go down - the bank that funded them is going to see that the end is near, they will shutter the doors and eat the losses. The CEO will then pronounce that they were 'acquired' and will try and find gullible other real startups that he can throw some money at to get on the board.
