Found something new and literally quit without notice yesterday. I don't mind burning that bridge because I was there less than a year, and my manager (the CEO) was a psychopath.
The company has grown to several hundred people, and it seemed like lots of engineers were working overtime to deliver features. The office even had this elaborate "command center" to monitor their software for outages.
A few weeks ago I was part of a team that visited the company's primary customer. They literally had only three people toying with the software with no plan to actually start using the software for the foreseeable future.
The company has an insane valuation that is completely made up; probably 80% of the company is working overtime and burning out to build something that is literally not being used for any real application by any customer, and that's unlikely to change for a long time.
It saw a revolving door of executives during my short time there. I walked out through that door yesterday.

I did this at a unicorn startup. Took a role in a supposedly well-run, growing portco thinking PE would be lazer focused on results and an exit. Been an overall worse experience AND less money
It really feels like the world is one big punked episode that's in the portion of the setup where some people realize something is fucked, while other people are doubling and tripling down
