Pros

Fully remote. That’s it. Can’t think of anything else.

Cons

Low pay. Been here what feels like forever. I stuck around because work/personal life balance used to be decent and that was my top priority. Not anymore. During Covid, company took off and has been doing great based on revenue report. Despite the success of the company, they put a cap on annual raise at 2%. Unrealistic timeline on projects. I can’t count how many hours I have worked for FREE for this company but anyone above ‘Manager’ level seem to be…..out of touch. They really don’t care. Agile. It’s not Agile. No one really does Agile correctly. But this company is pushing us to do demos, retro, etc. now, CEO pushed this extra step on release process on top of well-beyond reasonable expectation on project. I came here to rant. Can you tell?

Pros

Work/Life balance has never been better for me. I work with a great team and love my job.

Cons

I wish the policy for working outside the country had not changed, but this does not impact me personally.

Pros

Flexibility and working from home. Safety at work. Great supportive environment for last few years.

Cons

Cost prohibitive testing travel expenses that are not immediately reimbursed. Required to leave home for 2 weeks. Sometimes policies are not enforced to keep funding for students that are not a good fit for online learning.
