Pros

- Free lunch - Helpful coworkers - Okay benefits (health insurance, but no 401k matching)

Cons

- Deadlines and the general workload are almost always unreasonable for the pay offered, leading to constant burnout and understaffing in most areas of the company. They're always hiring but never able to catch up to the staffing levels they would actually need; there is an unsustainable need to continue producing more and more product. - You'll probably be expected to be in evening (8-11pm) Zoom meetings with coworkers in Pakistan most weekday nights. This may not be not clearly communicated during the hiring process. - Leadership forced everyone back to the office so that they could sit in more Zoom meetings, but now in the office. It was a blanket return-to-office policy without thinking through if some teams/employees would be just as productive continuing to work from home. - The actual product, coding courses, aren't well written or put together when compared to other competitors like Codeacademy, so you don't even feel good about what you're helping to produce.
