Pros

- The biggest pro here is having the co’s name on your resume - Love solving problems for entrepreneurs

Cons

- Management is known for gaslighting people across the board, people are expected to work late (sometimes nights and weekends), most managers are cruel people and have no self awareness whatsoever… if you want to have a burnout and feel bad about yourself: this is the place - Extremely stressful and toxic culture - Benefits and perks are little to non-existing and are constantly being cut

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

High comp and AI forward. One of the few remote places left.

Cons

Upper management basically openly disdains the “working class”, and it’s a major jostle among the VP and Director level for currying favor with the CEO. The investment in AI tooling is smart but also the C suite majorly suffers from AI psychosis, it’s embarrassing, actually.
