Pros

Autonomy in day to day tasks, laid back culture, good work life balance

Cons

The company is going morally bankrupt for what they believe will make them more profits. I took this job because I thought they were the only company of this size that was neutral or good even, but they have effectively gutted some ERGs and are failing to explain why certain content doesn't violate content policies. I've been a part of several reorgs over the past year. I read that before I started and thought it couldn't be that bad but it can really affect you ability to grow in your career if your manager or skip level keeps changing. I've had two coworkers at the company who have left or were terminated because of bad managers. The quality of manager to manager can vary greatly. I suppose that's always the case but it's disappointing when there is no recourse.

Was very straightforward, all remote, and accesible.

It was mundane at times and did not feel like I was changing that much, little purpose.
