Pros

Responsible for my own success, allowed to work remotely during the pandemic, and has been a complete change from the corporate structure that I was used to. Bold Penguin does a great job of providing you with the resources you need to be successful and allows you to work with your own style as long as the work is completed.

Cons

As others have mentioned it is still a start up and there is more that goes into the work week than the typical 40 hours.
