Pros

Remote work. Interesting problems and industry.

Cons

Investors bought a tech company without tech knowledge and it shows. Annual turnover around 50%. Leadership randomly hires and fire without thought as to the future of an employee at the company. When management fails to manage, they fire employees instead of improving management practices. Little to no information sharing, resulting in releases where almost nobody knows about the features. Often times it seems that nobody at the company knows how a feature should work. Board and leadership are almost entirely partitioned from development team. Developers have little idea where the company is headed or how they actually plan to provide value. No way for input to travel upward and no pipeline for improvement. It's often better to just be quiet than try to improve.

Quality leadership. The engineers were constantly improving the product to make it easier to sale and more applicable to a broader base of advisors.

Cons

It's strength is as niche fintech tool for advisors that use annuities. Finding how the product solved the advisors was a challenge at times.
