Pros

Fully remote work and relative flexibility. Compensation seems to be competitive from what I can tell.

Cons

I listed fully remote work as a pro, but it can also be a con when new leaders come in who don't understand how to operate a company remotely. Over the last year there has been increasing chaos. Nearly the entire C-suite is new and the vision communicated for the company by the C-suite has been very unclear. The new leaders don't understand the company's values and seem to be eroding the transparency and trust that existed before.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
