Pros

#1 for most people is probably the flexibility of working remotely. After living and working in the SF bay area for two years, I was grateful for an opportunity to leave and still work with an A-class software company. #2 is that it's 100% remote, not just partially. A 100% remote company has lots of advantages over a partially remote one. 100% remote makes everyone feel like they're equally as informed as everyone else. Others: - The product is loved by customers. It's kinda nice being able to tell people you work at InVision at social events and getting a positive response. - The business is growing, moral is high - Clear promotion/advancement criteria and processes. This was developed and implemented over the course of my time at the company. For engineers: - Engineering best practices are well, practiced. The company's tech stack isn't fossilized and tech debt is kept at pretty reasonable levels. In my two years there I saw the few codebases/services that were just really bad (spaghetti code, no tests, etc) completely replaced with clean, well documented, tested, properly monitored & alerted services.

Cons

Only for some people: - The company tries to stick to US hours. I started with the company in the US and moved to Taiwan, so I ended up working all night long and sleeping half the day. This obviously doesn't apply if you're anywhere in the Americas.

Pros

Lots of great perks like free Starbucks drinks, free Amazon books related to your work, covered gym membership. In Sales, you are monetarily compensated for your success but there's also a base salary - which I think is a great balance. Your bosses don't hover over your shoulder. They trust you to get your work done and look for ways to help you do your job better. The people are so friendly. Even though it's a remote company, you get the chance to meet them through online meetings. Everyone's willing to help you out if you ask - no matter how busy they are. The company is still nailing down processes for different departments. In your role, you have a lot of authority to provide feedback and suggest process improvements. Everyone is important!

Cons

Haven't experienced any as of yet.
