Pros

The people are great and passionate about what they do; the books are also great; good benefits

Cons

Upper management can be very difficult--decisions seem to be made based on the whims of a few people rather than logic. The amount of work is overwhelming and many people are stretched too thin.

Pros

Fully remote with all necessary tech provided, weekday schedule, great benefits, good leadership, small close-knit teams, generous PTO in addition to paid holidays

Cons

Base salary could be better but is offset with benefits package. Employee retention is high (a huge plus IMO) butcould limit upward mobility if you're looking for it.
