Pros

- Full time remote work - Compensation and benefits are okay - Role/Work is enjoyable - CEO does have a good directional plan

Cons

- Reporting layers are bloated, lots of vp/sr vp type of roles exist - Work recognition lacking - Over the past 4 years benefits and perks have been cut where it feels more like a corporation while it still has start up vibes - Cross functional work has challenges and is siloed - Constant feel of unease over employment security
