Pros

- I had an awesome manager and senior manager who made working there feel fun and easy - The job was remote-first, even before the pandemic, which I enjoyed. Still lots of team interaction with regular meetings so you didn't feel totally alone - Meals occasionally covered and free dinners at events; we worked from home or out of the WeWork space which was awesome

Cons

- Very low pay considering the amount of independence and responsibility required - Didn't affect me personally but I heard a lot from others about poor leadership/communication with senior management
