Thanks for your feedback about remote work and team capacity. We're glad you recognize our strengths in remote work flexibility - it's something we're proud of and continuously work to improve. Your concern about teams being stretched thin and feeling "always online" is important feedback. Remote work should not create pressure to be constantly available. We encourage you to discuss workload concerns with your manager and explore solutions like workload prioritization or team capacity planning.

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.
