Pros

-When I joined, Ascend was on the verge of launching it's new product, ElevateAP. I like the work that comes along building, launching, fixing and repeating this process. -Challenging problems. Ascend has quadrupled it's revenue in 4 years, which greats all kinds of fun problems. This is a great place to work if you like fun problems. -Great Customers -Great Colleagues -Fully remote. This isn't for everyone, but it works for me -

Cons

-Ascend is 25 years old. While there is a ton of good and important history, there are still a lot of bad habits that are hard to break. -Specifically, parts of Ascend haven't fully embraced the power and value of modern collaboration toolsets, which can make asynchronous work a challenge.
