Bad advice. You shouldn't pick a startup solely based off these criteria. You are a very minor investor that is the last to get paid. Investors can accept far more risk and reward, and care very little for things like whether the employees are happy.

Does the work look interesting? Will you learn new things?

Do you like the problem space the startup operates in?

How is the culture? Fit or not?

Will you be happy there?
