Pros

Fully remote work was the only positive aspect of the role. Other than that, I did not find meaningful advantages.

Cons

From a software development perspective, there is no real understanding of the software development lifecycle. There are no structured processes, no proper release planning, and no clear ownership. Changes are pushed directly to production without proper validation or staging, which frequently results in failed deployments and instability. Management lacks direction and leadership. There is no clear product strategy, and roles are blurred. The QA Manager is extremely micromanaging and often interferes beyond their scope, even attempting to take over responsibilities that belong to the Product Manager. This creates confusion, inefficiency, and a toxic work environment. Overall, this was the worst professional experience I have had. I strongly recommend candidates carefully evaluate whether this environment aligns with their expectations before accepting an offer.

Pros

I loved my team, I loved my work, and my direct managers were awesome! I loved the flexibility to work from home.

Cons

Speaking only on a corporate level, this company restructures and revamps A LOT and this frequently leads to many very good and loyal team members losing their jobs through no fault of their own. It's disheartening to put so much into your job only to be discarded.
