      Pros

      One of the best companies I've worked for. I'm working on a fantastic product, doing work I love, with a great team of smart, capable, friendly people. Being remote-only allows a tremendous focus on work-life balance, but is really only the start. The leadership goes beyond to explicitly share a vision for flexibility as seen in the publicly available handbook.

      Cons

      Joining a fully remote workforce can be daunting for some. Dealing with coworkers from all over the world can be challenging since different cultural norms and expectations will arise.

      Pros

      Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

      Cons

      Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

      Pros

      OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

      Cons

      Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
