Pros

Work with incredibly smart people, both in IT and product management

Cons

Remote jobs don't mean you can work anywhere in the country. They mean you can work remotely in a given state. This limits your career options in the company considerably. Leadership cannot say no to stakeholders. This creates a lot of sudden requests with short turnaround time that causes stress and burnout. It also causes scope creep that caused us to go over-budget, which will likely lead to layoffs at some point in the future. Leadership as a whole has not fixed broader problems integrating systems. The company grew too fast and even now years later we're still dealing with legacy systems that don't talk to each other well.
