Pros

Good teammates and a positive environment. Fully remote.

Cons

The onboarding process could be improved. Communication from senior management is unclear, and the messaging feels overly corporate without conveying meaningful information.

Pros

- Lot of great people who worked there - Learned a lot - Pay was good - Code quality was high, tackling tech debt was prioritized more than most places

Cons

- Laid off along with like 40% of the company over the course of a few months. There were subtle warning signs but for most people the first layoffs came out of left field. I was told I’d be up for a promotion at the end of the year. - A lot of my favorite people have left since the layoffs, which doesn’t bode well
