Pros

Everyone who I have worked with at the company so far is straightforward and kind. I appreciate that they take the time to provide positive feedback when you do something well, that can be hard to find in management. This job is very flexible. You can basically work whenever and wherever you want as long as you do your job well and work the amount of hours they hired you to work. I never feel pressure to work too many hours, they seem to respect work/life balance. I feel that the pay is generous.

Cons

These are not cons for me but I know they could be for other people: Employees are basically independent contractors, which is great because you get paid for every minute you work, but it also does not fit the typical salaried structure i.e. no paid time off, no health insurance if you rely on that The work is 100% remote, there is no office. I love this but I know some people like to get out of the house to work and see their co-workers in person.

Pros

Management style is very straightforward and hands off for the most part. Depending on your role, hours can be long and underpaid. Joe Cohen is a character but friendly overall.

Cons

Propensity to direct blame if things go wrong.
