Pros

* They offered a competitive salary * Fully remote * Unlimited vacation

Cons

* The work culture was awful. People were really not the best to work with * Full of people full of themselves and not the best at propagating information, even when directly asked, it was always an air of "look it up" instead of being helpful * Had to intervene and escalate due an engineer being racist to another engineer. * Had my first ever need to raise my voice at work as someone was being aggressive with me and not respectful * The codebase is kind of a disaster. * Took away my enjoyment of coding

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.

Great folks to work alongside. Work-life balance can be good, but depends upon the team/organization you are on.

Continuous layoffs have led to a poor work culture.
