Pros

Fully remote with regular travel to meet with your team. Pay is good, with great health benefits Work-life balance is the best I have ever had.

Cons

The marketing team is awful and is hamstringing the sales side of the biz. At one point they said someone opening an email was a hot lead. (I'm pretty optimistic this will get figured out)
