Pros

The only pro: Being remote

Cons

- Annual layoffs - Company hasn't been innovative since they created the original product - The base salary is only competitive because it's difficult to make commission (nobody needs the product anymore) - Managers will freeze your "unlimited PTO" - The CEO wrote a tone deaf LinkedIn post the day after laying off dozens of people saying what a "profitable and successful year" it had been
