Pros

Huge opportunities for growth. I have complete agency in what I work on, and what skills I focus on developing. Day-to-day is enjoyable and educational.

Cons

Most people are truly fantastic, but there is the occasional (rare) stereotypical over-entitled, overpaid engineer who doesn't know how to keep their petty complaints to themselves. The work environment itself is great though.

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.

Continuous layoffs have led to a poor work culture.
