Pros
Some of the pros include: -Great need and good initiative for the founders -You get to meet and work with some very smart people -Relevant team building experience -Good opportunity to get some experience outside academia -Will help you have business/industry experience in the resume -Also you can benefit from the networking events organized
Cons
-The time commitment is longer than expected or advertised ( they expect 10 hours/week commitment but it is really a lot more than that if you want to do a good job). It is doable if you participate during a low work load semester -The first phone interview was ok, the second interview was very hard. I felt that I was "under attack" about most things I said and at times it was intimidating. I like directness but the interviewer became offensive in many occasions -the CEO is difficult to work with, not sure if it is part of her strategy, or whether she has bad interpersonal skills; awkward and unpleasant personality -Some people in the team tend to not contribute a lot [ but I guess this happens and is part of working in a team, unless there is a mid-review procedure in place or you communicate it to your team leader]
