Pros

They are remote, so that works in this current climate.

Cons

If you are not a family member or a friend, you have no chance in surviving. The relationships in the place are tight.

Thank you so much for the feedback! While we do have an unlimited PTO policy, sometimes we have to make sure that we have adequate staffing, especially for core functions of our service like our data center staff - hopefully you were able to take PTO at a different time! And thanks for the feedback about goals and expectations - we'll make sure to follow up with the leadership team to help make those more clear! We're always looking for ways to enhance employees' experience and this is a great note!
