Pros

I have met a few wonderful people here.

Cons

Weird management that makes questionable executive decisions. Bad communication. This company does not produce anything outstanding and just burns through venture capital pretending to do "science", without any real output. People appear and disappear erratically. Lucky people will leave on their own but most people are simply fired. Fired so fast that they don’t get to say goodbye to their equally surprised ex-colleagues (in the last wave, half of the company was surprised). This company may look cool at first sight, but avoid them and save yourself stress, effort and time.

Pros

Not many pros to consider here. If you're having a good time at the company, it's probably because the CEO hasn't yet spent your salary on an unnecessary "business" trip to work out with his buddies, or you've got a face that is pretty enough to appease him and the story he likes to tell about himself to investors. Or, you are just an excellent sheep, with a reliably mediocre skill set. In any case, just you wait, your day will come, too.

Cons

Predatory company, masquerading as socially conscious and well-intentioned. Produces absolutely nothing. Ever hear of Theranos? Google it. It's disgraceful that the provincial government has chosen to support carrying this deficit. The list of cons goes on and on. You're better off anywhere but mixed up in this mess. What a gigantic waste of time.
