Pros

- Opportunity to work with great people. - Lots of opportunities to work on cool stuffs if you're in the right team and at the right time. - Treat people like fellow human and offer great benefits with great Work life balance.

Cons

- Very top down. Power concentrates at the top. Everything you do, you need approval from the top. - Communication is bad because leadership is stuck in limbo between being transparent and being secretive. - Low comp - Decisions take a very long time due to constant change in the org structure. - Things move slow. It looks fast but progress is actually slow. I don't actually know why maybe because of bureaucracy? Lack of resources? Lack of focus?

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Great folks to work alongside. Work-life balance can be good, but depends upon the team/organization you are on.
