Vantaggi
- Career opportunites: good, it is an early-stage, interesting science based product and there is plenty of scope for innovation.
- Compensation and Benefits: decent, maybe depending on your location
Svantaggi
- long hours expected, the founder may ping outside work hours, weekends and very early or very late hours if something is urgent and needs immediate attention. Expect 60 hrs per week (10 hours per day, 6 days per week)
- if you're in the office the founder may take control of your computer, even attaching his own keyboard and mouse, and help you, you will sit and watch
- not clear what is expected, so what you deliver is rarely what is expected, but it must be completed asap - the founder will probably help you
- high pressure
- possible fluctuating pay and pay dates
- general micro-management
- scope creep
