Pros

- It's a remote work culture which is great for me personally. We get to work in a very flexible way and you're treated like an adult. You also get to work with more diverse colleagues since they are hiring people from everywhere in the country - The work is meaningful (we're helping people change their lives) and that is motivating for me personally and for the people around me - People are generally smart, sincere, fun and dedicated

Cons

- Company is facing challenges created by rapid growth but they've been extremely transparent about those challenges and the work they're doing to solve - Can sometimes be a bit too sensitive to decisions that impact individuals or culture so can delay making hard (but necessary) decisions around moving people into different roles

Pros

Lots of "control" in mentorship, schedule flexibility, get paid to enhance your craft, and typical benefits of being an independent contractor

Cons

Unsteady flow of work (would be wise to not rely on this for primary income), pay is sub par for industry, pay schedule is roughly a month after service(rediculous lead time on billing), the company clearly cuts corners every year to save money and this directly impacts the contractors, unclear communication / expectations of the junior engineers that you train (we get lots of questions that must be deffered to Thinkful and many rules are not clear. You will also find students who seek help beyond the mentorsession as a last resort and must decide to leave them hanging or go above and beyond without additional pay)
