Pros

- Great team - A lot of great challenges to solve - Remote work

Cons

It used to be a great place until they decide to hire an external CTO. Since that moment, is just a pain to work there, micromanagement, useless reports. Best talent is leaving in droves, they are only keeping juniors or engineers that don't complain. No leadership at all, just "make it work", a terrible "my way or the highway" attitude from engineering leadership. No input and no two way communication, they don't care about you, they only care about metrics and reports. This was a company that used to care about people, not they care about money and or how is spent, they are misusing agile/scrum and now we have a culture of terminal juniority. If you want to be micromanaged and be working in a culture of constant fear, hostile environment and a lot of stress this is your place to be!

Pros

- From the PM's on down there are really great and fun people to work with who you would happily grab drinks with. Makes the stress of the job a lot more bearable a lot of times. - Remote work.

Cons

- Very few resources. If you are part of the QA or field team especially prepare to be overloaded. - Freelance devs are not invested in the product causing multiple issues that are blamed on everyone else except the devs. Expect to never meet a deadline. - Not much room to grow at the bottom.If you are not a PM or above this is not the place to grow your career. They offer you training with no real desire to actually promote within or give you opportunities to grow. Team members that have been there for years get overlooked and your time doesn't mean much if at all. - A lot of micromanaging. Everything you do needs to be relayed to a superior constantly. - Your time investment means nothing. Employees that have been there for years and invested a lot into the company are treated as if they just started. - Fake transparency from management. They don't have your best interests in mind even though they may say it. - No real feedback about your work or where to improve. If you ask they give vague answers and you are left in the dark until you are blindsided with it when it's in there best interest.
