Pros

The only pro of this company is the fully remote work (which also comes with its cons).

Cons

It’s a long list: 1. Micromanagement 2. Politics 3. Promoting long time buddies (with no skills) over skilled young professionals. 4. Ignoring company values when it comes to internal mechanics. Suddenly things aren’t important enough if it doesn’t make you money. 5. Complete misalignment between sales, product and engineering. They sell everything that’s not even in the pipeline for product. 6. The CPO and VP of Product are circus heads, not real professionals. 7. People with different opinions aren’t appreciated. 8. Slack and Outlook tools are monitored for status and location just to come up with any reason for layoffs. 10. Base comp is okay at first but then capped strongly.

Pros

Work with some decent people Mediocre benefits mediocre pay

Cons

Micromanagement is a huge problem. In my 15 year career I've never experienced such overbearing and excessive meddling in personal and professional day to day operations. They monitor your slack status and ping you if they see you're offline. I have to have a reasonable excuse to leave my desk for 20 minutes. They want you chained to your work and scold you if you have any semblance of a personal life. Management only cares about their performance - they want nothing to do with your success and do not care on a personal level. I've never experienced such an accusatory culture without any self awareness for how a manager conducts themselves. If you escalate issues to a director, they turn around and report you to the manager who makes your day to day even worse.
