Pros

- Flexible PTO and fully remote - Helpful coworkers - It’s a time of major change where we’re integrating all our different products

Cons

- Core product was built several years ago so the pace might seem really slow - salary is a bit low compared to big tech and is not cost of living adjusted

Pros

Unlimited PTO, decent pay and permanent work from home. Work life balance is fine.

Cons

Since the founders were forced out, the new leadership has shown little passion or commitment to the product. Their continued presence appears driven more by personal financial incentives than by long-term vision. Although feedback is routinely collected, it is rarely acted upon, and many internal processes remain broken. Product quality has declined, with frequent issues reducing overall effectiveness. Hiring standards have deteriorated as well. While the company aspires to be a leader in its space, it lacks innovation and has instead settled into mediocrity. The culture has gone downhill, small perks have all been taken away.
