Pros

- No hierarchy (no KPIs/performance reviews/bureaucracy) - Culture of openness : you can talk about anything to anyone - Kind and caring leadership team

Cons

- Working fully remote can be isolating - You have to self-motivate because nobody is breathing down your neck - There's so much going on that it can be hard to stay focused on a small(er) number of projects
