      Pros

      Completely async organization. You work when you need to. Results are the only thing that matter. I truly believe is as close as it will get to a meritocratic organization. Focus fridays with no meetings pretty much means its a 4 day work week. I'd say probably closer to 4.5 day work week Unlimited PTO without question. Within my first year I took 2.5 months off and my manager told me to take more.

      Cons

      If you're not from a developer background or not technical generally you have a super rough time onboarding and getting up to speed. Async work styles benefit some individuals more than others

      Pros

      Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

      Cons

      Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

      Pros

      OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

      Cons

      Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
