      Pros

      The company is truly redefining the way that IT companies will work in the future. Work-Life balance is incomparable, work at any time, from anywhere in the world you want. The company values are not just on paper, the teams leave by it. The company foster a truly no-ego culture.

      Cons

      The only thing that become a challenge is that working full remote is not for everyone. It requires people and company to put more intention/energy to "meet people" in person, eg. coworking days, off-site events, etc. The company doesn't pay private health insurance in all countries, nor covers life insurance for employees.

      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.
