Pros

Remote, great insurance and pay, few offsites a year to work with the team in person (paid for by company)

Cons

Depends on your manager, but it can be hard to work on projects you want to work on, even when it’s on the roadmap for the team

Pros

Fully remote, if this is your preference

Cons

CEO detached from reality, refuses to engage with his employees (famously does not use slack or a laptop). No product vision.
