Pros

Despite racking my brain, I cannot come up with any pros. It was a negative experience from the get-go.

Cons

Oh man, where to begin. Starting from the top, it's a mess all the way down. The "CEO" has no idea what he's doing and is an absolute tool. He's disrespectful, rude and incredibly entitled. The epitome of privilege. He claims he's a former teacher and yet seems to have barely spent any time doing it professionally. His condescending attitude seems to have trickled down to his staff which is unhelpful and truly terrible at their jobs. Everyday I regretted accepting a job at this company and the best thing I ever did was to quit as soon as I could. Also, for a company that prides itself on "equity", there are (un)surprisingly few POC at the top level of management.

Pros

Real remote flexibility here. They are embracing the technology we have to ensure our work life balance remains a high priority. You're trusted to manage your own time and get the job done without constant oversight. The bigger story though is the turnaround over the last year and a half. The new leadership has turned the ship around... before it fell off the map. The mission is clear now, and there's real room to help shape how we get there rather than crossing our fingers, closing our eyes, and hoping for the least worst.

Cons

Leadership communication is where things fall a bit short. We get the monthly all-hands and then... radio silence. I get it, priorities compete and there's a lot on their plate. But when the crew is the one actually rowing the boat, it helps to hear from the captain more than once a month. The occasional engagement via Slack, a little more visibility in between the big meetings would go a long way toward keeping everyone rowing in the same direction. We're all in this together - it's helpful to be reminded why a bit more often.
