Pros

Flexible schedule, remote work, everyone who’s not a manager is great

Cons

More than half a dozen people (almost all product managers and engineering managers) have quit in the last six months due to the extreme toxicity of engineering leadership. E staff has supported the awful behavior of one single person and declared that anyone who doesn’t like it can leave. The official message is that everyone who has quit did so because they “didn’t like having to work to deadlines” which is just an insulting untruth. This company will lie to you. Stay far away. Those of us who are still here won’t be here much longer.
