Pros

Ownership of key projects and processes. Fast-paced environment with smart teammates.

Cons

Top-down decisions often miss the mark and create more chaos than clarity. Burnout is real — too much work, too few people. Tasks over people. Culture often feels like “just get it done,” with little appreciation or support. No real support for career growth — most “development” efforts feel like box-checking for HR.

Pros

Remote, great benefits, FTO, low pressure

Cons

Big team, both in US and overseas, did not match the workload. Was laid off in 2023 due to company overestimating their value and offshoring jobs. They did salary scale after 1-2 months after starting, changed their compah bonus structure towards the end to allow only provide towards "high performing individuals". Company unclear on their direction nor were transparent on state of affairs even though they claimed full transparency.
