      Pros

      Autonomous remote workplace. Asynchronous elements add even more autonomy. Nobody cares about the green light on Slack or how much time you spend working as long as you get the job done. Amazing culture among regular non leadership staffers. Values-driven, although much less now since becoming a public company. Live virtually anywhere you want.

      Cons

      Corporate culture takeover since going public. Significant concerns about decisions from senior leadership. Hiring standards have been reduced. Lots of lip service on virtually any topic outside of revenue generation. Still much better than many older and larger companies. Burnout is real, many folks have had to take time away from work or choose to leave due to the overwhelming amount of work. Having not seen the negative changes over time from going public, your mileage may be better.
