Pros

There are some definite pros here: good pay and benefits, beautiful office with a nice view, catered lunch and free (good) coffee.

Cons

The owner fails to understand that even when you’re trying to create a fun, non-stuffy culture, you still need to have some basic respect for your employees. This guy is beyond inappropriate. Here’s just a sampling of some of the things you can count on from him: Trash talking and revealing personal information about former and current employees. Yelling at and criticizing employees loudly and in front of others. Disgusting practical jokes on employees involving feces. Harassing women and embarrassing them in front of others by calling them names and making perverted jokes. Making ridiculous business decisions that have terrible outcomes and then punishing employees for it. Working here is a humiliating experience. I wouldn’t refer anyone to CBT Nuggets.

Pros

Excellent benefits - 5 weeks PTO annually, free healthcare for your whole family, 401k matching Fully remote workforce Regular bonus awarded through profit sharing Casual culture, work hard play hard type of vibe You can get a lot of experience on a number of projects or collaborative work with other teams

Cons

Not a great place for people who need really structured management or tasks - you need to be self-motivated enough to get things done quickly as a remote worker, and be responsible and driven enough to be able to figure stuff out on your own as it's very trimmed-down on the management and operations side. Don't work here if you're not comfortable with shifting priorities - we work fast to try new things and pivot quickly as needed.

Pros

Remote, team before everyone was let go.

Cons

Fear culture, no communication or rather, some manipulation. No collaboration amongst other teams.
