Pros

I've learned to recognize toxic working environments. This has helped me greatly to identify bad companies and bad candidates in job interviews and to know what kind of companies I don't want to be part of in the future.

Cons

Every project I've touched had a huge technical debt and though this is something normal in any startup, there wasn't a clear plan to reduce it. Management didn't really respect time off. It was common for them to contact you to fix something or answer a random question urgently. If everything is urgent, nothing is urgent. Some people faced serious ego problems and even giving feedback could lead to them firing you. This only created a tense working environment with zero psychological safety. If you're trying to avoid getting fired instead of improving the company and product, then you're performance will be subpar.

Pros

Occasional team bonding events — way to connect and unwind.

Cons

Workload is on the heavy side and can be exhausting. You barely get a chance to take your PTO — it’s tough to find the time, and finding someone to cover for you is even harder. Bad upper management.
