Pros

Remote work flexibility is a positive, along with relatively flexible working hours that allow for some work-life balance depending on the team.

Cons

-Role expectations are not clearly defined and often go far beyond what is communicated during hiring. Employees are expected to handle responsibilities without proper onboarding, guidance, or support. Management lacks structure and clarity, and communication around internal changes is poor, leading to constant uncertainty. -There is a noticeable gap between what is promised and what is actually experienced on the job. Sudden changes within teams are not uncommon, which affects overall confidence and stability. -Management is poorly organized and tends to blame lower-level employees for mistakes rather than taking responsibility. -Would strongly advise against accepting an offer here if you already have a more stable or clearly defined opportunity in hand.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
