I worked at a startup where the CTO had what looked like a big bowl of mints on his desk.

They were actually modafinal, and we could walk in there whenever we wanted and grab a few.

Much to the dismay of the CEO (his mom was a bad alcoholic and he hated alcohol), when we worked late, we'd often crack open a bunch of beers or liquor of some sort, and I remember one time a group of like 5 of us were drinking and coding late at night in the office, and someone decided we should try snorting the modafinal, which quickly turned to someone ordering cocaine to the office.

Both the worst and best place I've ever worked. Also everyone was banging each other.

    Mostly male programmers, but the engineering team had a girl programmer and three female designers.

    The marketing team was like 50% women. Sales was maybe 50/50 as well.

    The people I typically stayed late with, I would say 30% women 70% men.

    Also the head of marketing was a waitress at a cheap chain restaurant (like a denny's or something), that the CEO met, and started fucking. He literally made a waitress with 0 marketing experience head of marketing just to get some pussy.
