Pros

-100% Remote -Amazing co-workers at the peer and managerial level: lots of smart, collaborative employees who are passionate about their work. -Unlimited time off: you're note encouraged to use it so you have to be proactive and take time off for yourself.

Cons

-Micromanagement: The leadership team doesn't trust people to do their jobs. -Lack of communication: They don't set clear expectations. -No office stipend: You have to use your own computer and do not receive a stipend to offset the cost of repairs and/or upgrades. -Double standards: Executives receive special privileges, and negative behavior is overlooked for them while not tolerated in others. -Unfair terminations: People are often fired without prior warning or an opportunity to improve. -Below market compensation packages.

Pros

Fully remote work with unlimited PTO, great product, managers who care about their teams, a fun annual offsite, and lots of opportunities for career growth. I've been promoted several times since starting and every month it seems like lots of my peers are getting similar recognition. We are now going to get a work from home stipend which will be very helpful if my laptop dies! Management is ok if you take time to live and work from anywhere which is really flexible.

Cons

I wish I got to see my team more but that's the downside of working from home. Benefits are reasonable but nothing over the top.
