Pros

Remote was nice for a while and so was work-life balance

Cons

The company seems to be heading in no clear direction and transparency seems to be extremely low. Lots of cuts in all areas of the business and they seem to only be trying to keep the lights on at this point

One layoff after another.

Pros

- A true remove first company, depending where you live there's no real chance of an RTO. - While the pay is competitive, it doesn't significantly exceed the market average. - The company offers several noteworthy benefits, including an attractive vacation policy, comprehensive maternity/paternity leave, a yearly wellness stipend, and access to a diverse range of learning resources.

Cons

- The product vision is all over the place, they keep changing it every quarter or whenever they do another round of layoffs. - The leadership team is weak, lacking any real vision and working with a poor strategy plan. Now that going public isn't an option, it feels like they're on the hunt for someone to acquire company. - After every round of layoffs (there've been three in the last 18 months), your team practically gets a whole makeover, with a brand-new vision, and you have to start from scratch all over again. - People have had 5 or 6 different managers in less than two years, which is just crazy. - The VP hasn't been able to come up with a successful strategy in three years, but still manages to hold onto his high-paying job.
