My first real job was at a startup that was at one time a one man show (though it grew and shrank over time). The founder was an ego maniac and a micro-manager who had big visions of financial success but no clue on how to achieve it. I heard a lot of stories of an endless parade of previous employees (which should have been a major red flag) and while I was there for only about 2 years the company cycled through people.

That's the case coming from my current job. Starting a new job on Monday. He had his fingers in everything, launched a product that was not ready for public release. Constantly micromanaged me out of using standard SE and EE practices despite my advisement against it and my push back. Suffered the consequences, manufacturers wary to sell because of all the problems with it. Can no longer support my employment because there have been no sales.
