Pros

Every company says their employees come first, this one honestly means it. All benefits are fully paid by the employer. They're very generous benefits, and the benefits keep getting more expansive each year. It is the most diverse workforce I've experienced in my career, and it is wonderful. The management is genuinely honest and transparent, you can literally ask them anything, and they give you that opportunity frequently. As a certified public benefit corporation that focuses heavily on providing free, open source data science tools you get to work in an environment that doesn't put the dollar first and foremost. There's no shareholders to push leadership around. Remote-first means everyone works remote, it is baked into the company culture. There is amazing work life balance, you're encouraged to take time off. Frequently. You'll get to work with smart, friendly, honest, nice human beings. Nobody yells, points fingers, or blames. We make mistakes and then have honest discussions about the process instead of the people. At the end of the day it's still a job, and you still do work, and the company still wants to make money so it can keep striving towards its many goals. But it's a great place to do all of that. There are no employee referral bonuses, but I still refer everyone I can.

Cons

It is still a small company, with small-company immature processes. That small company now has hundreds of employees after hiring significantly over the past couple of years. So there's a lot of growing pains around trying to determine and implement process and efficiencies and figure out how to make all of the parts of the machine work well together. Remote-first is definitely not for everyone. You have to posses fairly good self-motivation, and be willing to connect virtually, and know when to take breaks, go for a walk, work from a co-working place or coffee shop so you don't forget there's a society outside of your personal work-from-home environment, and time off to stay fresh.

Pros

The company treats everyone with respect, and loves hearing new ideas. Not really a con, but they do a good job picking candidates that are qualified for their job so the company can be very asynchronous. Just make sure you're a self starter and helping with the mission because Posit is a great company!

Cons

Not a real con but not a fan of the reimbursement process for travel. There's platforms like Navan that exist so employees don't have to use their own money but that's the only thing I can think of.

Pros

-unlimited PTO -really smart people across the company -the open source community loves RStudio and you feel like you’re making an impact -Slack/Google company

Cons

This company has declined sharply over the last two years and it's painful to watch. Leadership has churned across multiple departments, and the new leaders do not have a clear strategy for how to save the sinking ship. Direction shifts every quarter with no time to learn whether anything is working. The flat, approachable and “non-org chart” culture that defined this place is gone. New execs and VPs are unreachable, make decisions without collaboration, fail to protect their teams' time, and sit too far from the actual work to notice that things keep getting added to people's plates while nothing comes off. Sales has missed quarterly targets for nearly two years. Finances are tight. Roles disappear without explanation. Money still gets spent on expensive tools that were never vetted with the people expected to use them. Plus, theres the AI pressure that a lot of other tech companies are dealing with, which now has created a workforce that lives in constant fear that they're next to be let go. It is genuinely sad to see a once inspiring company become this colorless, frantic, disorganized version of itself.
