Pros

- Full remote - Decent pay

Cons

- No 401k match - Limited visibility into career progression - Micromanagement, no trust in employees - Minimal to no use of data when making decisions - Culture of blaming others rather than solving problems. Leadership has consistently made comments along the lines of 'don't give this developer work, they always mess it up' and 'god that person is annoying' when referring to active employees

Pros

Great senior leadership & co-founder culture. Fun company to work for, growing and very focused on customer experience

Cons

There is a certain mid manager that is a true culture vulture. Be warned.
