Pros

Remote-only Always paid on time Friendly coworkers

Cons

Roughly half the company has been laid off in a couple of months Very little transparency from higher ups. Heard a lot of "Everything is fine, the business is doing great. Onwards and upwards! Although our cashflow isn't very good, so you need to work extra hard!"

Pros

Great coworkers, exciting tech at the time.

Cons

Private Equity ruins everything. Our reward after hitting the “best quarter ever” was to be told by our drug-addled CEO that we can’t “live in the past” and he berated members of the leadership team for not getting off to a stronger start that current quarter. Shortly thereafter a few of the top (competent) leaders left, (including the role that calculated our commissions), the CEO was fired, a clueless bootlicker was put in to replace him, and a round of layoffs took out 50% of Sales, all of whom were stiffed on their quarterly commission (which was roughly 1/2 of their overall compensation). A few months later management had the audacity to try to bring some salespeople back - all of whom laughed as they went on to work elsewhere.
