Pros

The company does a wonderful job of supporting employees in terms of benefits. Being able to work remotely paired with the newly implemented unlimited vacation policy is incredible. Additionally, I received a 20% salary increase my first year after the company took it upon themselves to do a salary review of similar positions across the country. Lastly, in terms of upward mobility, they are very attentive. In all of my annual and mid-year reviews, the conversation is always centered around how to set me up for promotion.

Cons

The company is growing quickly and communication can sometimes be an issue. Additionally, on my team in particular, we have more work than we can handle. As such, I never have enough attention to give to important projects and it often it feels like I must sacrifice quality for speed. This creates a lot of stress.

Pros

Great people even if we are remote. Good benefits.

Cons

They keep moving the goal post while piling on more expectations. First it was opening an office in India to "chase the sun" (98 US employees got layed off before the holidays. CEO sent out a recorded message admitting that conducting business is cheaper in India. No employees outside the US were layed off), next asking what employees would be willing to give up benefit wise (keep in mind they are known for being on the lower end of market with compensation) and now forcing mandatory fun days for a small percentage of employees who are remote not hybrid (they won't be tracking you but if you don't attend it will be part of your performance review. Asking for an exception is possibly a trap or test to see who is a "team player"). This all feels like a trap or a bad dream. The foundation is cracking under the weight of growing without taking a break for things to adjust. I'm burnt out and exhausted. Always waiting for the next shoe to drop will do that. I do my work, I do it well but that doesn't seem to be good enough anymore.
