Pros

- People are smart, conscientious, and definitely care about how the product will affect the clients and platform users. - Fully remote work in product org - Middling pay, benefits - Some signs of interest in bringing tech into the modern age

Cons

- This is not a tech platform for home care, this is a home care business with a tech platform tool. From an engineering perspective, that means you are more like a construction worker than an architect. Think waterfall planning, managers assigning work, and years of tech debt from product running over engineering. - All that tech debt means things get done through "work harder, not smarter" grind rather than innovation or adoption of new tech. It seems like there may be some desire to change this in the leadership ranks, but the leash is still pretty tight with deadlines and checklists.

Pros

They're flexible with schedules, and you get a lot of autonomy.

Cons

There's not really a definitive chain of command you report to, which makes some things complicated.
