Pros

- People are smart, conscientious, and definitely care about how the product will affect the clients and platform users. - Fully remote work in product org - Middling pay, benefits - Some signs of interest in bringing tech into the modern age

Cons

- This is not a tech platform for home care, this is a home care business with a tech platform tool. From an engineering perspective, that means you are more like a construction worker than an architect. Think waterfall planning, managers assigning work, and years of tech debt from product running over engineering. - All that tech debt means things get done through "work harder, not smarter" grind rather than innovation or adoption of new tech. It seems like there may be some desire to change this in the leadership ranks, but the leash is still pretty tight with deadlines and checklists.

Pros

Coworkers are great because you're going through the same thing together. With that being said, proceed to the cons

Cons

Where do I start? - Poor Management - Poor Leadership - Poor Operations - No room for growth - Extremely small pay - No overtime pay but expected to work 14 hour days - Zero work life balance - Can't go to your Manager with a concern without being placed on a PIP because they're ready to fire anyone for no reason - Turning Homecare into Amazon - Can care less about the Caregivers. PAY THEM MORE!!!! They claim to but they can really care less about them - To put the cherry on top, they like to approved requested time off and then reverse it after being approved and tell you that you can't go on your approved time off because you need to work holidays.
