Pros

- Fully distributed - Good salary for low income countries - Home office allowance - Company travel

Cons

- Low(1-3%) increments, every 2 years or so - The values advertised publicly don't match what goes on inside - There are good people in there, but the leadership is kinda apathetic towards marginalized people - Very strong cishet-white-man-bro-code culture - No career growth for ICs - Concerns raised by marginalized people/women/queer/ND people are not heard.

Pros

- You can work 1 hour a day and get away with it

Cons

- CEO is on his high horse - Teammates from Taiwan don’t really work. Especially product managers. They just talk and fail at their goals or accomplishing anything but somehow still have jobs.
