I mean, for 0.15-0.20% and a top end salary of $200k living in SF that sounds like a great opportunity!
Are you serious? That's not much to be able to live there. And for the top end no less?

#12I got a recruiting email recently for a job that had 5 days onsite, but SATURDAY was work from home, listed like it was a perk. It’s wild out there.

200k in SF with CA income taxes and SF cost of living is not that much at all. It's low enough that "No, you can't ever hope to afford to buy a home or get a mortgage in the city of your legal residence" is a flat out fact.

#15You get to work from home two days a week: Saturday and Sunday.

Good news / bad news: employees are also expected to "co-live in our Warsaw & SF Hacker Houses" (i.e. corporate frat house).
Not quite sure how they get "teams of 20" living in those houses with a total company size of 15, though.

#17Yes and? If this is not appealing to you, don't apply. But for some the travel and being at different customer sites is energizing and fun.
I don't know if I'd really define "some" travel as flying SF to NYC (or SF to Miami, or Wisconsin) every sunday afternoon/evening, and then flying NYC to SF every Friday evening. That meets a definition more like "constant" to me rather than "some".
Don't forget that you're flying NYC to SF to "regroup at the SF HQ to debrief and keep building". What, you thought you got the weekend off? Rise and grind.

Maybe they have some ex US Navy submariners that have introduced the concept of hot bunking.

#19You get to work from home two days a week: Saturday and Sunday.
But also a good portion of every Sunday is going to be flying coach all the way across the continent to NYC or Miami, because you're expected to be on-site at the customer premises at 8am every Monday! You'd better be sure to get some work done on that flight or the company leadership will notice.

#20The founders look like they can’t be out of their early-mid 20’s… this stinks of a frat-house 3 AM convo that made it to the next morning.
