This is a very honest and non-naive answer about the pros and cons of working startups. The "We're a family!" bit made me laugh too - the startup cliches are real. I would add - don't assume that because its a startup that means you have to be working 60 hour weeks. I have worked in and known plenty of other people who have worked in startups that were 9-5 with hardly any over time. There are plenty of startups that succeed with the majority of the employees working normal office hours, you just don't hear about them because they don't brag in interviews about how hard they are "hustling" and how they do yoga at 5am in the morning etc.
