I worked with a start-up where owner confessed he is just looking to get out as quickly as possible. We were not supposed to build processes that would slow down the development at the cost of huge technical debt - but that wouldn't be for him to worry. He did have a number of hires so that on paper it would look nice to investors. We had an experienced and old CEO whose job was to smile and drink with investors, number of developers to fiddle with code, two senior devs that were doing actual coding and a devops guy who spent time on Reddit and baby sitting juniors so they don't break the app too badly when deploying to production and marketing team that was making up ideas what they could shoe next to investors. Company was paying "customers" to use the product. I left early when I realised the equity package is made up. I'd say run! Not worth your reputation.
