Pros

Full remote work culture allows for an excellent async communication environment, which provides quiet and highly focused time to get things done efficiently.

Cons

Without a physical office, the boundary between work and personal life can easily blur, often leading to unrecorded and unnoticed overtime unless you strictly manage your own schedule. Additionally, collaborating with team members across different time zones requires meticulous planning and booking meetings well in advance.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
