Pros

Great culture, and collaboration across the multiple teams. Remote only company, but they provide lots of outlets to team members to emulate water cooler banter, and friends and family days to avoid employee burnout! Excellent communication to employees with an "Ask Me Anything" opportunity.

Cons

Remote learning is more on your own than a hands on experience, and unlike other companies. All information is out there for employee, but up to you to take the time and learn content

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.
