Pros

- biggest all-remote company, doesn't just do remote, but does remote well - you feel connected to the entire company - everything (almost) is public! There is a handbook that everyone contributes to that has all the information you need. I was blown away by the transparency - even before joining I could look up anything about how the company operates. - truly lives by the values set and there is a lot of credit / thanks going around praising team members exhibiting them - amazing people all around - great personalities - very competitive compensation - amazing time-off policy (best policy I ever encountered) you truly have the freedom to define your life & schedule - time for self-actualization - manager will actually hunt you down if sees you burning out - great freedom & financial support to create your dream home workstation - very inclusive! found a group for everything, diversity is respected - grand potential for career development - gosh, there are a lot of good things - I'm afraid I'm forgetting stuff

Cons

- if you haven't worked remotely before beware of the trap of working all day, also set up needs to be good and distraction-free

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.
