Pros

Everyone is working incredible hard and takes pride in their work. This is definitely an environment with open communication and possibility for growth. I only started a few months ago and am really enjoying my work and the people I work with. This is the first place I've ever come to where everyone is respectful from the top down. The other day I was on a call and an member of the upper leadership team joined and realized they had never met me before. He stopped the meeting and took the time to introduce themselves, ask my name and thank me for my work. I was really impressed by this. It left a huge impression on me. Also, despite being remote everyone gets along really well and still manages to make time for water cooler talk.

Cons

Work hard, play hard environment. Expectations are high, but upper leadership does a good job of setting everyone up for success.

Pros

I get to work remotely. They have a good retirement plan/401K. I work autonomously with very little oversight, meaning there's no micromanaging. They are great with holidays and time off. Very inclusive and socially aware. Those are two reasons I've remained employed by them.

Cons

The salary is lower than preferred. I've worked two years with zero pay increase because "no pay increases for remoter employees". The health insurance is lacking and not fantastic, but I'm not sure that's really a con since nearly every health insurance plan in America is lacking.

Pros

- Great work/life balance - Awesome coworkers - Lots of opportunities to try new things and be innovative

Cons

- Senior leadership does not value remote workers and doesn't get to know them/engage with them - Frequently lays off remote employees, regardless of performance, achievements, or job role, sometimes without offering options to move or relocate. They also on occasion use underhanded tactics to pressure remote employees to leave so they don't have to pay out severance. Lastly, unless required by your state's law, they never pay out your remaining time off - If you start underpaid, you will remain underpaid even after promotions - Job performance does not impact yearly bonuses/increases. Pay doesn't keep up with inflation
