Pros

Remote work and no budget for travel. Unlimited PTO but you will be forced to work on your PTO.

Cons

Awful, toxic leadership. Company is in financial trouble and they are a financial health company. Work 10-15 hour days. Most demanding work environment ever. Run away from this place!!! No pay increases and no bonuses.

Pros

Culture of creativity, education and collaboration. Strong partnerships cross-functionally and customer obsessed. Clients come first, always. People always willing to lean in and help.

Cons

Young company who needs to scale quickly and learn while we fly. Requires a lot of energy, but very inspiring environment.
