Pros

* Flexibility, can WFH. * Work-life balance.

Cons

* Management can break promises made to employees. For example, some people were given a QA-to-Dev transition, only to have it reversed later due to "new priorities from the CEO." * Recent layoffs were handled in an inappropriate way: - They came out of the blue, as the CEO had always talked about how great things were. - The office was closed under false pretenses so that no one would come on that day (but some management members were there). - After a brief Zoom call, laptops were immediately reset, leaving no chance to retrieve personal data, documents, or projects. - Employees had no opportunity to say goodbye in the company's chat to their coworkers or team members. - All following "consultations" were fake—no engineers were given alternative options. - After that, the company tried to pressure employees into signing the deed of release immediately and attempted to manipulate them with free laptops and shares. * You may say that it's all management’s doing and that the CEO has nothing to do with it. But as they say, "A fish rots from the head down." - I saw the CEO hugging a 7+ year employee and praising them for understanding the business needs. A few weeks later, that person was laid off.

Pros

Truly "flexy" work style. When they say to make your own hours they truly mean it, nobody cares when you work so long as you're reasonably available. Pretty good benefits for the US, such as four weeks vacation and a BCBS health plan. Kind and fun-loving colleagues around the globe are a pleasure to spend time with. Excellent culture of continual improvement and learning, people actively solicit and listen to the ideas and feedback of their peers.

Cons

Working across the globe can make for long days (but you certainly can take breaks). Typical scale-up issues of never having the time to do all that needs to get done (but at least it's never boring!).
