Pros

Founders were fiscally responsible during the pandemic, did not over-hire, not riding the layoff train.

Cons

Policies are not remote friendly, extremely restricted travel especially for the few teams that are remote, founders believe remote workers are not as productive as onsite workers and have said as much.
