Pros

There are no pros working in this company

Cons

- People are hired and fired all the time. There is no transparency. You will only find out someone left when you see their slack profile is deactivated. Treated employees as disposables. No severance. No notice period. - Only 13 days of vacation per year that include sick days. If you caught the flu and sick for 10 days there is no vacation at all. - Parental leave policy is a joke. - There are no medical and pensions benefits for people outside the USA. - You have to buy your own equipment (laptop, monitor etc) if you are outside the USA. They justify it by saying it is hard to recover equipment if someone left early. And then you find out that include software licenses as well :facepalm: - No matter where you live you have to be online 4 hours In the US timezone so that your project manager can ask "What is SVN?". I understand the value of standups and meetings. But I am not here to work during nights in my time to provide tech support for project managers. If you have not mastered asynchronous communication you have failed as a remote company. - You will be micromanaged all the time. - Funny how working here reminds me of "Office Space". If you make a mistake there will be 6 people contacting you about that. There are multiple bosses for you at the same time - PM will force you to take a vacation if you don't log 40 hours for the week. Working on multiple things at the same time and meeting their 40-hour requirement will burn you quickly. - The quality of work is subpar. You will be miserable looking at the code written for their past projects.

Pros

Fully remote & usually flexible schedules given an international team. Most team members are strong and experienced. If you know how to clock in & clock out and turn of your brain to the social and political aspects of work, you can get an ok pay check here.

Cons

Since the private equity acquisition and merger with “Fueled” (10up will no longer have its name and some point and just be a part of “Fueled”), post job salaries have gone down $10k. 10% of the company was laid off. Benefits have gotten worse, and policies more unclear. What is clear is the private equity “squeeze” to get as much productivity from individuals as possible while removing support structures, leadership, benefits, and perks. Culture is disjointed, leadership is not on the same page with one another, and they are out of touch with the wider team and “little people” The team is not diverse. I have never interacted with a black employee. Because they hire people in other countries (India, Africa, Europe) they call that diversity. Few women in leadership actually making decisions
