Expect Lean Budgets, Long Hours, and Multiplying Responsibilities

Software development manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good remote work. Full stop.

Cons

The company operates on a very tight budget and was understaffed during my tenure. As a result, you will be expected to cover 3+ roles simultaneously and work well over 8 hours a day to keep up with management’s expectations. Consider it only if you are passionate about the second mortgage industry (???). This is the only company I regret having on my resume.

Well-known company but toxic sales leadership

Pros

Company is well known in the industry.

Cons

Stay away from this sales team. The sales leadership is terrible and continuously restructures to avoid paying. Multiple HR claims against sales leadership for harrassment and abuse, but the company did nothing and continues to allow an abusive environment.
