Pros

Alright pay, Flexible hours, Free food.

Cons

We were told our hours would be increased and made to think the work was stable and would be unending. A few months later, we were told there was not going to be as much work for a couple of weeks, but that it would all be fine and work would resume soon. Then we had barely any work for months and were lied to on a weekly basis about upcoming work. Finally, we had our contracts terminated. They also changed the job so much from what we originally signed up for. They introduced tools to time and monitor our activity, and we were asked not to invoice for toilet breaks. The tasks became steadily more boring and completely different from what we signed up for. Often, it felt like the tasks were pointless and would not yield accurate data.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, friendly coworkers (depending on which team you're on). Company is healthy with high ARR and customer base is largely enterprise level businesses.

Cons

Major power grab happened recently with the old head of marketing leaving. Lack of clarity around company mission, vision, purpose, values and culture. Sole focus is on revenue growth at all cost with blatant disregard for employee wellbeing, WLB and healthy team dynamics is important but often ignored. Teams work in silos and communication is difficult with unclear POCs. Hopefully this stabilizes and things improve as new leadership finds proper footing. High rate of turnover recently since leadership transition.
