Pros

Pay is better for most of the remote companies. WLB is great.

Cons

Poor Leadership with no vision Management is not hands on /technical and decisions are made by these folks. Sometimes It doesn't feels like working in tech company due to poor prioritization and leadership. Very less opportunities to grow. Frequent re-orgs with poor decision.

Pros

-Remote work/flexible time off -Good benefits package (10% match 401k) -Wellness reimbursements (fitness/healthcare)

Cons

Frequent internal restructuring and layoffs (2023-2026). There have been many rounds of layoffs and frequent changes in leadership/team structures (makes it difficult to complete projects/tasks and locate teammates). -Leadership puts heavy pressure on staff for AI adoption/integration into daily work. -High KPI's for individual contributor roles. -Difficult for internal advancement/mobility into other roles (lengthy interview process for internal staff as well). -Difficult to obtain raises/promotions (leadership continues to raise performance expectations).
