CEO is a weasel. Acts like a good guy, but the sketchy never-give-you-a-raise demon is always lurking.
About 95% of employees don't last more than 18 months, and 50% don't even last 6 months.
If you work here, I suggest doing the minimal work possible to not get fired, and then wait until the company is in a vulnerable position so you can really gouge the CEO.
