Pros

Some nice people, good authors & titles, nice location.

Cons

Political. Some people, despite being rubbish at their job, get promoted and helped out enormously, while others slog away at their poorly-paid jobs wondering if they even want to stay in the industry.

Pros

Fully remote with all necessary tech provided, weekday schedule, great benefits, good leadership, small close-knit teams, generous PTO in addition to paid holidays

Cons

Base salary could be better but is offset with benefits package. Employee retention is high (a huge plus IMO) butcould limit upward mobility if you're looking for it.
