Pros

- The idea in general has a LOT of growth potential - There are some really smart people in key positions - Alpaca is growing fast - You can pretty much work on whatever you want to move the business forward

Cons

- There is no sense of career development, growth opportunities, etc. - Compensation is pretty middle of the road. - No culture whatsoever. One of the values used to literally be "Crazy Urgency", if that gives you any sense of how people act and communicate with each other - On that same note, nobody really has any accountability - There is no effort being put in to create any sort of culture. I understand that this is difficult being completely remote, but there are tons and tons of completely remote companies that do an amazing job. Learn from them. - Doesn't seem like there is a focus on DEI whatsoever - There's a lot of negativity, gossiping, putting other people down, etc. that nobody really tries to hide. - Poor leadership
