Pros

* Unlike other companies who are starting to pressure employees to return to office, management is continuing to trust employees and keeping remote work * Nice benefits for our physical and mental health, including $800 reimbursement for weight loss / exercise expenses, Hinge Health exercise subscription, free mental health consultation, one free audiobook per month * Receptive to workflow improvement * Flat organization structure, superiors are easily reachable * Great colleagues * Encourage diversity and inclusion

Cons

* Change can be confusing * Has large layoff in 2023 which resulted in some non business critical projects being abandoned with no responsible person to follow up
