If someone uses the term "cultural zeitgeist" in a job description, and follows it up with a definition of the term, they are pretty much admitting their company should not be included in said landscape and I'm loathe to apply...

Ok so zeitgeist literally describes the spirit of our current time, aka culture.. so not sure what a cultural zeitgeist is?

Exactly.

“Loath.”

Thanks but, I was intentionally going with the verb.

I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year. But it's actually my first finance-related experience (interned and now part-time as I'm in my senior year of undergrad) and don't know really how to have an impact as my knowledge is "limited" and have no technical mentorship.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
