Pros

Cons
The bureaucracy in this place is off the charts. Everything moves at a glacial pace, and you can't get to anything—unless you're part of the golden circle or a buddy of Adriaan. Then, you've got the keys to the kingdom. You're gonna feel like you're spinning your wheels, getting nowhere fast. Your laptop? It's jam-packed with spyware that slows everything to a crawl and watches your every move. Top management? They couldn't find their way out of a paper bag. They're just playing catch-up with Stripe and failing miserably. Equity? Forget it unless you're gonna stick around for a year or more and bust your hump to be the star player. They'll push you to show up at the office at least once or twice a week, but good luck tuning out all of the noise or finding a meeting room. Try not to throw up when they keep calling you "a Mollie" and not to roll your eyes too far from all the cringe-worthy moments. If you're the type who actually gives a rat's behind about your job and isn't just punching the clock, this job will drive you up the wall. Unless, of course, you've got a thick skin and can stomach a whole lot of corporate baloney.
