Pros
I worked for a company that DaySmart purchased. The CEO of that company was a bright, motivated leader who would benefit from more delegation. The folks on the UI team were brilliant and easy to work with. Initially I was going to use my own equipment but when it became clear that wasn't viable, I had upgraded equipment Compensation commensurate with modern software development but their tech stack was a steaming pile of code.
Cons
Expectations were unclear. I came into a "team" of software developers that consisted of another person who lacked experience working on a team or as a manager yet he was my manager. The position was remote and requests for a stipend for a decent office chair ("the company isn't gonna pay for your office equipment" was what my manager said) were first shot down by my manager but then HR said that was an acceptable. Overall, the business has reached a modicum of success based on the effort of the CEO. My coworker/manager didn't seem to understand that a large part of software development is understanding abstraction and creating solutions instead of just banging out poorly conceived code that would fail later and require more troubleshooting.
