Pros

All roles are offered remotely. The 9/80 schedule with floating Fridays off is nice. Everyone seems to be passionate about environmental causes and the product. Most coworkers seem friendly and willing to help new employees.

Cons

Growth opportunities are very limited. The all-remote work approach creates isolation and a lack of opportunities for collaboration or support. Workloads continue to grow and consolidate as resources shrink. Changing environment from mass departures in the last 6 months. Likely due to the lack of product innovation and stagnant business growth. Ideas are not embraced unless they originate from the top. Everyone is seen as expendable, creating a weird version of Survivor with no real prize.

Pros

The company is small, so the contributions of developers are pretty much immediately visible and have real impact on the customers. This makes job satisfaction great, especially when compared to places where one is a small cog in a big machine. Working days are 9 hours long, but we get every other Friday off. There's also an annual company retreat, which is a great opportunity to interact in person with the people you only get to see remotely the rest of the time.

Cons

Compensation and benefits are above average in terms of national reality, but below the standards of larger software companies.
