You can lose severance or equity based on subjective claims.
Arbitration-only + fee shifting
Disputes become expensive and hard to appeal.
Clawback / repayment clauses
You may owe a signing bonus or training fees even if laid off.
At-will conflicts with promised term
You may think you have stability, but can still be terminated anytime.
