Pros

Plenty of feedback! If by feedback, you mean cryptic Slack messages from the CEO that leave you questioning your life choices. You can work in your pajamas! Which is great, because with the pay, you won’t be able to afford a professional wardrobe anyway.

Cons

Imagine working remotely at a company where the Interview Process lasts longer than your actual job tenure, training doesn’t exist, and the only thing more elusive than a clear job description is your paycheck. Welcome to Business Tech Ninjas. Work from home! Yes, you get to work from anywhere—your bed, your couch, or maybe under the kitchen table when you need to hide from your overflowing inbox. It’s a beautiful thing to roll out of bed and straight into panic mode. Comfy pajamas won’t make the all-day Slack onslaught any better, but at least they’re soft. You’ll learn something... eventually: Mostly, you’ll learn to survive on zero training and vague task lists. You’ll emerge from your experience at this company confused, exhausted, but with a strange sense of accomplishment that you managed to fake it this long. The CEO’s Mystical Emails: Forget managers! Here, the CEO personally pops into your inbox like some sort of digital overlord with cryptic, all-caps directives. “FOCUS ON PRIORITIES! ALSO DON’T FORGET PROJECT X!!” No explanation, no details. The pay—prepare to be wowed: And by wowed, I mean absolutely floored by how low it is. Slack Overload: Have you ever received so many Slack notifications that your phone gives up trying to alert you? No? Well, welcome to Business Tech Ninjas! It’s like someone gave a hyperactive toddler access to every communication channel on Earth How to multitask like a ninja: You’ll become an expert at juggling ten projects with absolutely no direction. The CEO will toss you a mysterious task with zero details, and you’ll master the fine art of Googling your way to success while half-convinced you’re working in an alternate universe.

Pros

Imagine a workplace that’s all about injecting fun into the serious side of tech—while really caring about everyone from the team to the clients. Offering the sweet deal of remote work, it syncs up beautifully with how I want to live my life. It's cool to connect with a variety of clients and team members worldwide, which definitely keeps things interesting. What I really like is endless opportunity for personal growth. Being with a company that rides the tech tide means my skills never stop evolving. This team encourages innovation and personal growth—something I looked long and hard for.

Cons

The flexibility of working from any nook and cranny of the world is definitely a pro but can come with some logistical gymnastics, especially around syncing up our clocks for collaboration. Nailing down a meeting time can be a bit like herding cats. But, overcoming these challenges just highlights our team's ability to adapt and excel, transforming potential setbacks into victories of resourcefulness and connectivity :)

Pros

You can work anywhere, anytime. It's the ultimate remote work job. You just have to be available for some meetings during business hours a couple times a week. Their clients are really interesting companies too. The CEO takes a lot of initiative with trying out different productivity methods and personality tests. You can also get hired without much experience and will be trained.

Cons

Not enough support for new employees. I'd be told not to ask too many questions to the CEO because she was so busy (under the guise of "try figuring it out on your own before asking questions"), but then got reprimanded when I'd make mistakes. I felt like I was walking on eggshells around the CEO. The main issue I have with the company is that I was let go without being told I was let go. It was the ultimate passive aggressive way to get rid of someone. I was told I'd be moved to a different department that was a better fit, and then when I followed up after a couple of weeks I was told, "Oh sorry, it's just been so busy, we'll have a spot for you in a couple weeks!" and never heard from her again.
