Pros

- Mucha confianza en los miembros del equipo - Mucha libertad en la forma de trabajar - Trabajo 100% remoto y asíncrono - Mucha documentación y muy buenas herramientas internas para encontrarla - Procesos muy ligeros, sin tanta sobrecarga o meta-trabajo como suele pasar - Muy buenos sueldos y beneficios - La gente es muy agradable y amistosa - Prácticamente no hay reuniones :))) - Muy preocupados por el bienestar de cada uno

Cons

- El proceso de entrevistas es largo, y requiere mucho esfuerzo, tiempo y voluntad. Aunque incluso casi que es una ventaja ya que da una visión mas realista en ambos sentidos que una prueba en una pizarra. - No es para cualquiera: si prefieres todo super organizado y cuadriculado te será un poco mas difícil adaptarte. - Hay muchos productos, mucho código, muchos repositorios y en general mucho que entender y mucha historia de fondo que hacen que sentirte con confianza y productivo tome su tiempo al principio.

Pros

I had the opportunity to work alongside incredibly smart, talented, and kind colleagues who were always willing to share their knowledge. The role offered diverse and engaging technical challenges working with a wide range of customers, most of whom were pleasant to collaborate with. The company provided excellent health insurance and 401k benefits, which I genuinely appreciated. The yearly travel for team meetups was a highlight. It created valuable opportunities for team building and strengthened relationships across the distributed team.

Cons

While unlimited PTO sounds attractive on paper, in practice it required careful coordination with team capacity and management, making it less flexible than expected. The culture inadvertently encouraged overworking, as people often forgot to actually take time off. Weekend on-call shifts, combined with a small team rotation, created real burnout risk. The most significant issue was the unexpected layoffs, which were extremely disruptive to team morale and productivity. The instability created by constant turnover ultimately became unsustainable and led to my decision to leave the company.
