Razor scooters in the office
"Play space" area in general (unless you're working at a toy company)
Resistance to adding/changing process to try to improve the development life cycle
Idolization of people on the board of directors, especially if it's based on them having been involved in a large project that happened to be successful (regardless of their personal involvement in it)
A big deal made about on-site facilities, especially things that encourage you to never leave
Being told that there's plenty of funding runway when you're interviewing, but then suddenly learning that there's actually way less money after you start
Being recruited by someone who seems trustworthy, only to find they weren't actually at the company (or had left by the time you started)
Especially if the person above "parted amicably"
CEO who flaunts involvement with TED/TEDx/random thinktanks
Constant product pivoting, and/or a failure to actually say what the product is
"We hope to be acquired" as part of the business plan
Being suggested that you "part amicably" when all the above finally becomes too much

For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
