Pros

- Flexible working structure; you can work when you want and from where you want - Trust is put in all employees to do their best work in their own way - Goals and KPIs are clear from top-down

Cons

- For those who are not self-starters, it can be hard to know where to begin - As an early-stage organisation, there's a huge amount of scope for growth and development, but tech companies that are more well established will offer better compensation

Pros

The people employed to do the work are almost all fantastic, kind, bright, passionate people, and the remote-first setup works really well.

Cons

Those who occupy the top positions are out of their depth and their insecurity and arrogance mean the company has really lost its way. Talented people are gaslit, ground down and, in some cases, driven out by toxic leadership styles, and the culture has subtly become one of "do what you're told". The management style in some teams serves to hold people down rather than help them achieve what they're capable of. Over half the company were recently laid off out of the blue, just weeks after employees were told some of the teams would be growing. The company pretends to be data-driven, but the data behind the decisions is never shared and pertinent questions/concerns are dismissed or discouraged.
