Pros

There are no pros since I am responsible for my own taxes, Social security, liability, workman's comp, etc. Unless you are good at paying your taxes every month you're going to have a hefty bill come tax time

Cons

pay is not great after I pay liability, my own workman's comp, my own social security, etc. If I get sued I have nothing to fall back on with the cheap liability insurance I can afford. No thanks

Pros

Work remote; pay; flex time off. Neat product design ecosystem and the design system looks good in a portfolio. It seemed like things were improving with how goals were set and worked towards. While the design team existed, the culture was at first good then turned sour due to the constant threats of layoffs, lack of promotion, and limited raises.

Cons

Constant layoffs; every time a new C-level came in heads would roll. There were 4 different heads of product and 4 CTOs in the few years I worked there. Very concerning for any company. Goals constantly changing... no or very limited growth on the career ladder for designers. The design team no longer exists here. If they are hiring for this role, they have realized their mistake and are clambering to rebuild. Take this lack of stability into consideration when you negotiate your offer.
