-Working on a project I believe in along brilliant millennials and seeing the positive effects for people color.
-Working alongside smart, inspiring folks who get the job done and work super hard.
-Working with a designated project manager was a major help in streamlining crucial project decisions and understanding context as a remote independent contractor.
-Flexible work schedule.
-No micro management. I was trusted to fully own my project.
-Very quick response times to decision emails, punctual communication.
-Management is always actively working to improve, scale and grow the company.
-I was always paid on time.
-Compensated for all travel expenses.
Cons
-At the time I was hired, there was no HR Department to facilitate new employee pre-on boarding process.
-Since I worked from home (also a pro), I did not meet the rest of the team in person until after the project was over.

Blavity's micromanagement was absolutely suffocating. I literally could not send a client email without someone questioning my word choice or demanding to know why I included that person on the thread. Every single decision got routed through some approval chain and nobody would even explain why they said no, just "not approved" and silence. I started to feel like my manager was waiting for me to fail, like the hiring process was a mistake and now I had to prove myself every single day all over again. By my third month there I completely stopped suggesting anything because every idea got was the kind of slow trust erosion where you don't notice it happening until you realize you've already mentally checked out.
