Pros

Remote work, flexible hours Nice co-workers

Cons

I have worked in tech for over 10 years, and the upper management in this company is the worst collection of man-children that I have ever seen. Every interaction I had with them was a teeth grinding experience. -Intense micromanagement combined with ambiguous requirements and almost zero documentation results in endless confusion -Decisions are made and changed almost immediately, but can be left uncommunicated for days -Overall poor communication for a remote/distributed office -Talent is a revolving door as people are driven to literally ragequit the company

Pros

Flexible schedules, fully remote, fair compensation, and genuinely good people to work with. Like most startups, there's a lot of work to do and I see much of that work/progress both from the team and leadership. Still small and early enough that if you’re motivate you can have a big impact. There are opportunities to be a part of creating the culture and company that you want. Excited about the company's future!

Cons

Early stage startups aren’t for everyone and that’s okay. If you’re looking for a more developed corporate environment where everything is already built out, you may be disappointed.
