Don't do it. Can wholeheartedly say fuck startups, especially if you're not an expert in your field.

YMMV but they've been an extreme version of the horrible crap that goes on in corpos; ex layoffs because why keep your senior devs when someone newer is much cheaper and the company only has a few millions untill next round of funding.
