Direct team is great! Higher-ups, not so much.
Pros
- The direct team and leadership were amazing and beyond supportive in every aspect. I truly felt like I had a family with them and never hesitated to reach out for help. I stayed as long as I did because of them. - Health insurance, PTO, HSA, in-office perks, work/home balance, etc. are all great. - Remote flexibility during COVID-19 was wonderful.
Cons
- Going public changed the direction of the company's priorities (at least, the priorities they made public to us). - Executive leadership doesn't seem to care about employee's concerns - we were told to leave if we didn't like something instead of them listening to our concerns and actually considering them. - Pay is incredibly low compared to same job descriptions with other remote-only companies. I left to perform the same job functions at another company for close to a 50% increase in pay. - I've seen so many rockstar employees be forced to leave because the company refuses to pay them what they're worth. - Growth on a company level seems to be a priority only to departments that bring in revenue. Other departments struggle due to not being allowed larger budgets as the company grows.
