Pros

The only pro I can think of is flexible working hours i.e., you don't have to be in the office from 9am till 5pm, you can start work at 10am for example.

Cons

- Below market rate compensation and benefits. - 3 days in the office isn't necessarily bad for everyone, but they track the IP address of your laptop, which shows they don't trust employees. - If the office is too far away or you are physically disabled, you are still forced to come into the office 3 days a week. Also, don't apply if you are a parent or have caring duties, they are not flexible about this working policy at all. - Their SaaS apps are to expensive to run, so instead of implementing effective cost savings, they make engineers redundant or carry out constructive/strategic dismissal via multiple Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs). With the constructive/strategic dismissals , of course they will pretend that they tried to give you a chance to improve with the PIP(s), but there was always intention to dismiss you - very cowardly if you ask me.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
