"Family" = you'll be guilted into weekends. "Work hard play hard" = no playing. "Flat organization" = everyone can staff you. "Entrepreneurial" = no resources. "Fast-paced" = chaos. Add yours, I'm building a glossary for the next recruiting cycle.
"Unlimited PTO" = socially enforced zero PTO. The cruelest one.
"High visibility role" = high blast radius when it goes wrong, and it will.
