Those are actually the good ones.

I'd love to work at those. As opposed to the monstrosities I often see in some unicorns and well-funded places.

> monstrosities

Spent a minute trying to figure out if you were trying to make a pun (mono or sites, or idk) before realizing that’s how it’s spelled. I gotta get some more sleep.

There are definitely systems that are monostrosities (monoliths that are monstrosities), but the worst places have microstrosities.

Yup. Normally a lot of work but a lot of fun too if you are up for it.

I look for dev teams of 3-5 for this type of company.

What are some things you've seen at the unicorn/VC startups? (I would never qualify to work there, so I'm curious how bad it really gets.)

I've never worked at a company that far along. I have heard stories though. A lot of time they have cleaned this stuff up but still have some tech debt that is dragging behind that is yet to be addressed.
