Pros

Remote work w/ the flexibility of working in their Arlington office. My insular team is clear with direction and the executive leadership gives space during all-hands to answer questions.

Cons

During these uncertain times, it would be nice to have more information but it's tough. I know it's a balance. Wish they had a 401k matching component

Leadership can sometimes take a while to debate things but that's not necessarily always bad, just makes things take longer sometimes.
