Business Outlook

Pros

All remote work, fast growing company with fantastic product, thought leader in the DevSecOps space, insanely transparent (nearly all company information is publicly available, just try a Google search!), great benefits and compensation package.

Cons

Onboarding is very self-service, information and communication is in too many channels, sometimes it can be hard to find things and sometimes you have to go to multiple places to maintain data and do work: Handbook, GitLab, Google Docs, Salesforce, Slack
