Pros

The ability to work remotely, fair pay, lots of PTO days and flexibility.

Cons

1. Lack of Collaboration: Top management encourages competition over collaboration. 2. Failed Communication: There is no transparency in communication from the top down. 3. Lack of Career Development: This is not a company that will help you grow. Silent layoffs happen every week. 4. Sinking Ship: Top management only cares about short-term profit at the expense of user satisfaction. There is no long-term thinking. Many pieces of evidence show that building great products is not a strategic priority. 5. Toxic Culture: Top management hires their friends and creates a trust circle. Many employees, including those who have worked for the company for decades, are excluded from this trust circle. Being let go is just a matter of time. 6. Increasing Workload: Lack of revenue streams forces the company to cut costs and reduce headcount. As a result, every existing employee takes on the workload of 2-3 people. The working hours are getting crazier, and stress level hits record high.

Pros

Everyone is very positive and nice. There's a ton of opportunity to make an impact with the scope and scale each employee is responsible for.

Cons

Product strategy seems frantic and directionless at times, although differs between product teams.
