      Pros

      Remote company and allows you to work anywhere. If you can get on the inside of a couple of execs at the company, you will be able to run with many different ideas. Some departments have good life balance,

      Cons

      Constant shift in direction on strategy. Leaders chase shiny objects without much thought if it makes sense from a market perspective. There are some execs that people despise greatly and clear they don't understand what's going on. There have been many layoffs. Some that were announced, others that are silent where they get rid of almost entire departments. There is very little loyalty here and if they find a cheaper replacement, you are out. Don't get fooled that they care about you or your career. Product is weak and has not been iterated on. Several parts of the org are on just keep the lights on mode. While some depts have good life balance, others are beyond stretched thing and there has been a hiring freeze for forever.
