Pros
+ I was well supported as a remote employee working out of my home full time.
+ Speaking for the team I was on, collaboration and project management was good.
+ While the pace was always brisk and there's a sense of urgency, I felt I was able to keep up in about 50hrs/wk on average (which is less than I have been used to at previous companies) which for me was comfortable.
+ Company was very flexible with me and I was able to, for example, participate at my child's sporting events while making up the time. Level of flexibility may vary a little by team, employee, and manager, but in my case it was outstanding (but then, I also truly made up the time and didn't abuse the flexibility). You should expect to have to establish yourself and your value to your team and the company before you start asking for that kind of flexibility.
+ Very generous benefits
+ Company embraces a variation of agile/scrum processes to manage product/feature deliveries that goes a long way towards keeping paces realistic
+ Management is pretty open with employees and communicates regularly with respect to company direction, product priorities, strategy, perceived opportunity and risks, etc.
To summarize, Pinger was great for me. If you're good at what you do, productive, and have a good collaborative attitude you'll likely do very well there. After being in telecom for just short of 30 years for various companies, I decided to pursue other interests outside of telecom and so left Pinger on good terms.
Cons
Every job presents its challenges from time to time, and one may rub up against differences of opinion with co-workers or management. Your style in handling that may go a long way towards whether you're happy at Pinger. If you're a good communicator (including a good listener), chances are you'll fit in fine and be able to manage any conflicts you'll run into from time to time.
