Pros

- Be your own manager - Flexibility due to remote and asynchronous work/life balance - Great amount of freedom regarding vacation (days) and time-off! - Benefits all across the board - Very friendly management, C-level are basically friends! - Everyone helps everyone, no one is left out. - Many opportunities to grow, vertically or horizontally. - Somewhat flat hierarchy

Cons

- If remote is something new, its quite a thing to get adjusted to. - (sometimes AMER, APAC meetings are too early/late to attend in person) -> asynchronous video recap would be a positive here in this case.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
