Pros

• Fully remote work, which genuinely improves work–life balance • Flexible schedules compared to more traditional companies • Smart, kind, and supportive coworkers — the people are truly the best part of the company • International exposure and fast-paced environment that can be valuable short-term

Cons

• Ongoing company instability and frequent changes in direction • Internal policies and expectations change constantly, often without clear communication • Mass layoffs have occurred without prior warning, feedback, or performance-based justification, creating a climate of uncertainty • Changes to roles, conditions, or policies are not always accompanied by updated or formalized contracts • Strong resistance to salary increases, even when aligned with annual regulatory adjustments • Pay increases are often promised but later delayed, minimized, or not honored • Lack of transparency from leadership around decisions that directly impact employees • Difficult to plan long-term due to recurring restructures and sudden changes

Pros

* Immediate Impact: I’ve only been here for a few months, but I’ve already been able to contribute to the business. You aren't treated like "the new person" for long * Lots of Autonomy: You are trusted to do your job. * Smart Colleagues: The talent density here is high. I feel like I am learning something new from my peers every day. * Helpful: People are super helpful and willing to carve out time to help you learn. This is not always the case when starting a new job but its real here, * Work-Life Balance: So far, the balance has been great. We’re a global company so balancing timezones requires a more fluid working schedule than your standard 9-5. People work hard, but there isn't an expectation to be online 24/7.

Cons

* Start up: Even at this later stage there are still growth pains, a level of chaos to navigate and processes to build out across the business. * Fast paced: Things move fast. Things change quickly. There is a constant theme of change & this doesn't always resonate with everyone. * Global: The distributed nature of the company can leave you feeling removed or operating on an island at times.
