Pros

remote work and company events

Cons

I strongly discourage candidates from pursuing a position with this company unless/until significant changes are introduced: -Combative interactions are a regular part of weekly team meetings. I have no personal hard feelings, but the owner can be extremely difficult to work with. -I as well as others found it extremely challenging to be given clear priorities from the owner, despite ongoing and repeated efforts to develop a shared set of expectations. -This is not necessarily a con, of course, but DragonFly has existed for over a decade, and they are very much a startup company in both size and maturity of processes. Also, I have to draw attention to the positive reviews that were posted in 2019. Note that most reviews were posted on the very same day and many of the 'cons' mention identical items. Take from this what you will.

Pros

Remote work, fairly flexible hours

Cons

Almost nothing but cons for this company. It was probably a fun, scrappy startup 15 years ago, but it never learned to grow up. Stay far away. There is no salary DragonFly can offer you that will make all the many negatives worth it. They make promises to fix things and make them better, but the root issue is the one that will never be fixed: the micromanaging, unpredictable, unfocused, and undisciplined founder. The product itself has a lot of potential and the team could accomplish a lot if the founder would get out of his own way, but he lacks the focus and discipline to do so. My entire time at the company he was unable to accomplish any of the goals that were "top priority" - he was unable to move the company to achieve a single objective he had despite the majority of the staff being replaced or otherwise leaving, but he still points fingers at the staff. If you want professionalism, stability, a good culture, comprehensive benefits, a path towards growth in your career, or even delivering a decent product - look somewhere else. P.S. - carefully look at the positive reviews here and notice how many were apparently coordinated to be written around the same date. Take from that what you will.
