Pluspunten

The old office was conveniently located, though like the team, the space and office culture was uninspired.

Minpunten

The hire-on "founders" had no domain experience, or any startup or product experience to speak of. C-level management generally dropped by the office before noon, yawned, and left by 2pm. VP's contributed nothing and mostly got in the way. Directors worked themselves into rabbit holes. The meeting culture was atrocious with full-day meetings to schedule future meetings being the norm. Effectively 100% of the product, engineering, and design was off-shored, and in-office individuals consisted mainly of over-inflated titles. All interactions with the individual contributors was done sight-unseen, effectively circumventing any opportunity to build relationships with the people we worked with. No respect or recognition was ever given to the team. Compensation at the individual contributor level were terrible, and benefits and equity are very poor (2 weeks PTO and stock option allocations in the hundreds). Ironically no retirement benefits were available. Management was over compensated and generally hired unqualified buddies to fill senior VP roles and above.

Pluspunten

The people were great, the office was in a downtown SF skyscraper in the heart of the action (very modern, stocked kitchen) - felt like a real startup atmosphere full of young people, which was a direct contrast to the industry in which they worked. I thought working for a website that caters to EOL management would be a dire, depressing environment but it wasn't. Everyone there had a dark sense of humor and was able to have fun while working for a 'death app' as some called it. I enjoyed my time there.

Minpunten

After a big roll out and media attention, the site was apparently not pulling in a profit quickly enough. It seemed the powers that be could not wait for it to earn money so they reorganized and cut down the overhead pretty quickly. It was pretty shocking how fast the environment changed.
