Pros

Flexible time off, flexible working model, decent benefits & perks, nice coworkers, some growth opportunities if the timing is right (although sometimes promised and never given).

Cons

Underqualified "senior" manager for the org who picks and chooses who she coaches - favoritism is very apparent. Terrible communication. Zero psychological safety. "Office politics" are in full swing. People are let go with either a fake reason or no explanation given. The team has truly gone downhill. Not worth the stress or the headache. Find another spot. Also, the salary is on the very low end of average, maybe even below average depending on your level. The amount of turnover this year alone has been a huge indicator of where things are heading.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)

Pros

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
