Deal breakers:
We certainly don't want to waste your time, so we thought it'd be helpful to list some criteria that'll help you evaluate whether we are a good fit for you.
1. We are looking for folks that are keen on building the next phase of their career with us and making a mark for themselves. If you are looking for a job as opposed to such an opportunity, we are probably not the right fit.
2. Sort of related to #1, but if you are not hungry to learn (and we mean really hungry), you are better off looking elsewhere. And we want to be able to learn from you as well.
3. If you are looking for a well-defined, structured role that is prescriptive in terms of your role/responsibilities, we are probably not the right fit. We will expect you to come figure stuff out and
4. If you are looking for a stable environment, again, sorry, not us. We are a startup, chaos is a defining characteristic of our existence.
5. If you are looking for a relatively easy-going job, this is unlikely to be that. In fact, if its not one of the most challenging jobs you've had in your career, we are probably not doing something right.
