Pros

This company was started as a remote-first company, and the founders put in a lot of effort to create an "operating system" that actually makes that work. Remote work isn't just about tools, check-ins, and team meetings. It's about the mindset and approach of the leaders. I've never felt so empowered yet supported by everyone from my manager to my direct team members. The culture is very curious, not judgemental. This leads to really open discussions with diverse perspectives that result in great ideas and actionable plans. The culture is also very family-first. Go to your son's fall festival, take time to see your parents, take a few days to help your sister move, step away to go pick up your kids. We all do it. Other pros include: - The company is on fire. It's in a rapidly growing space and we have the best product by far. - You get to work alongside people are who REALLY good at what they do. Sure, we're all still growing our crafts, but man have we hired some experts. - Everything is really well organized. From onboarding to IT requests, it's so well automated. - Transparent company OKRs help the company stay focused and aligned - Swag quality is top notch :)

Cons

- Osano is a fast-growing startup, so processes are constantly evolving, and goal posts move often. But if you view that as a con, you probably don't want to be at a startup.

Pros

Remote work, paid on time.

Cons

This organization is in a state of continual decline, largely due to ineffective leadership and a lack of clear strategic direction. Decisions often appear reactive rather than thoughtful, resulting in constant shifts in priorities, confusion across teams, and little confidence in the company's future. Leadership frequently seems disconnected from the realities employees face, and there is little evidence that feedback from staff is genuinely considered or acted upon. Turnover is exceptionally high, with talented employees regularly leaving for more stable and supportive environments. Rather than addressing the underlying causes of attrition, management often treats departures as routine, creating a revolving-door culture that further weakens morale, productivity, and institutional knowledge. Perhaps most concerning is the workplace culture. Employees are strongly discouraged—either directly or indirectly—from voicing concerns, challenging decisions, or providing honest feedback. There is a widespread perception that speaking up can negatively impact one's standing within the organization, leading many people to remain silent even when they identify serious issues. As a result, problems persist, accountability is limited, and opportunities for improvement are routinely missed.
