Pros

They support remote, flexible work, great product with lots of potential, good promotion of work-life balance

Cons

They use remote work as a reason to pay less. If you don't drink the cultural "kool-aid", then you're set up to fail. They say they're about diversity, but actually look for homogenous values and opinions. Career opportunities are constrained to those that the leadership team like and agree with, rather than those who bring fresh perspectives and could be excellent at their jobs. People seem to randomly get fired if they think outside their box. Lots of nepotism. If you are friends with the CEO or President, then you are impervious to feedback. If you're not, your an outsider and your opinion means less. You can complete nothing in light of the fact that there's no structure or procedure. They consider themselves a "startup" at 150 individuals, which feels increasingly feels like a reason for everything being a wreck. It's depleting and keeps you from carrying out your responsibility as you ceaselessly need to become familiar with a reconsidered procedure or tool.

Pros

The work-at-home approach seems ideal. The permanent staff are very supportive and helpful. The company paid for gatherings to foster better personal connections.

Cons

They treat new hires a bit frivolously. After being told for six months that I was doing good work, I was laid off with about a week's notice. Within a month, three other employees were let go in the same fashion. While the company's online engagement process has attracted an exceptionally high initial participation level for their clients, the follow-up engagement levels drop dramatically (usually over 50%). If participants felt that the initial engagement was authentic, participation should rise not drop. This suggests some vulnerability in the company's business model.
