Pros

They are fully remote and work hours are reasonably flexible.

Cons

I joined here 2.5 months ago after I was told there would be plenty of work opportunities. My wife is recently pregnant, so I wanted to make sure that this wouldn't end up being a short term gig. I had worked for government contractors before so I knew to ask up front what happens in the case my project isn't renewed. They told me EXPLICITLY to my face that they had internal roles and plenty of other projects. 2.5 months later I was told that my project didn't get renewed but no problem HR will reach out to me with a new role. Come that Friday, TWO DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HR tells me there is no role for me and lays me off. Honestly I should have known something was up as I was the second to last team member left and everyone else must have been placed in another role. Seriously, save your time and talent, go to a company that doesn't lie to your face and doesn't sack you after only 2.5 months.

Pros

Loved working with my team and the pace is fast enough to keep things interesting, but slow enough to not lose your mind as a dev.

Cons

Despite the full day meetings every quarter, really nothing bad at all.

Pros

The company is strong on technical savvy and developing it in its employees. If your goal is to develop tech savvy and be respected for it, they will pay for training and certifications to develop it. They also have a "Demo Day" twice a year, for internal developers to showcase the new technology initiatives (IP) that they are developing. They develop some pretty forward looking IP.

Cons

For all the emphasis that they put on technology and hard skills, they don't do the same with communication and soft skills. Management and leadership easily comes down to treating employees like children rather than adults, which stifles personal initiative.
