      Pros

      - The handbook is not a marketing tool. The whole company lives and breathes the handbook and it's fantastic. Since I joined, nothing has surprised me as every process and expectation is defined. - CEO and executive team are not hidden away. Taking an active role in day-to-day activities. Open to difficult questions from team members regularly. - Very open and transparent. If it can be public, it is. - Remote work is brilliant. Proper work/life balance is so much easier to achieve, which makes me more productive.

      Cons

      None yet! It's been an entirely positive experience. If remote work doesn't agree with your mindset, this isn't the place for you!

      Pros

      Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

      Cons

      Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

      Pros

      OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

      Cons

      Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
