Vantaggi

The only pro that I have is they let you work from home.

Svantaggi

When work started, I was promised that full funding and salary (~$80K) would be in place in 2-3 months. 8 months later and we kept hearing from the CEO that it would be 2-3 months. After some pay was given, the CEO said that we could continue working without pay or cease working. After choosing to cease working, the CEO terminated us all. Benefits were promised but none were given. We were constantly under pressure to work more than 40 hours per week else we would lose any equity we had.

Although we always take critical reviews to heart, we've been around for a few years and haven't had any of these complaints. Start-ups are start-ups and there are often periods with little or no capital, and there are certainly no guarantees. The job requirements and terms of employment/contracting are very clear and no "promises" are made in a start-up company. This is why stock options are offered in the first place. The company puts its employees first and when there is limited capital, the leadership is always last to eat. In this case, we were dealing with an employee that created a hostile work environment and had to be terminated. It's unfortunate that he felt the need to lash out and didn't appreciate the job as others do. We will continue to be transparent and open about opportunities and risks with our company.
