Cons

Toxicity and an antiquated management style dwells at the top. Be ready to go to back to the office, because the CEO seems to think he can't hit his targets with a remote workforce. He tells the public that a rough quarter is due to macroeconomic forces beyond our control, while he gaslights employees by telling them it's their fault (for not working hard enough). Layoffs are being disguised as firings (of people with no history of poor performance), despite the impact that has on future prospects for employment for that person, leaving said employee with no severance, a undeserved stain on their reputation and their dignity. All in the name of greed and hubris.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
