Pros

- Flexible work schedule. Some people start work late in the day and work into the late evening. It really depends on your position and manager. Obviously 8-to-5 jobs like CS are more strict. - Work From Home any time you wish - Unlimited PTO... to a point. Abuse of PTO is frowned upon. - Permanent Remote positions available - Communication handled with remote workers in mind. We use Slack, Email, and Zoom. You can basically text, call, or video conference at a moment's notice with anyone in the company, even on mobile devices. - Great culture where people are eager to help and be involved. - People who excel are rewarded with recognition and money, in the form of announcements during company meetings, instant bonuses, and raises. To be clear, you really need to stand out and do work above what's expected of you if you want bonuses. - Standard company benefits

Cons

- Had to prove myself before I could work from home when I wanted - Highly underpaid based on my experience level and similar jobs in the area - Insurance is good but not great. I pay more for doctors and prescriptions than I did at my old job. - Company is owned by an investment group, so the company is changing. Change in company direction is difficult and affects employee happiness, especially if they are being asked to take a product in a direction they don't agree with. Not really a knock against the leadership, just the situation.

Pros

Most people care a lot. And try to make the best of the miserable environment.

Cons

The culture is toxic from the top down. Leadership creates an environment of constant chaos, shifting priorities, and little accountability, leaving employees to absorb the consequences. Management by fear is accepted and, at times, seems to be embraced. The company continues acquiring businesses with little apparent planning for how those acquisitions will be integrated into the broader organization. Rather than building scalable processes first, existing teams are simply expected to absorb additional work while already operating at capacity. The result is an organization that constantly feels reactive instead of intentional. Every day becomes another exercise in putting out fires while being criticized for failing to anticipate priorities that were never clearly communicated. Leadership struggles to establish, communicate, and execute on a coherent strategy, making it difficult to accomplish meaningful work or feel successful. Long-term planning consistently takes a back seat to constantly changing priorities. Concerns about leadership and workplace culture are raised, yet the same patterns continue. Employees are left feeling unsupported, overextended, and increasingly burned out while leadership appears insulated from the impact of its decisions.
