Svantaggi
Single word: Management. - The CEO is quite unskilled at anything quantitative. He ask very basic questions to make us all frustrated when we have to explain basic things to him. Really basic things! - The CEO if he not like you will size down you strategies, wait for you to quit, then size them up and take the gains that you would have had. This is trap so watch out for it! - CEO is also very erratic manager, lots of insulting and never to take blame. Many people quit because of him behavior. Then he just talk bad about them after they gone. - The COO is basically office manager who know nothing about operations at all. We do not think he work in operations his whole career. We try to explain things to him but he more cares about ordering breakfast or and make sure coffee machine works. He very good at that. - The payout is only good if you one of first employees... Otherwise you ideas get rejected because someone else already thought of it. Not fair to new hires. - You expected to work long days and people watch when you leave and if you don't work weekends. And all the hard work for nothing because someone already find your alpha signal 3 years ago. Sorry, try again!
