      Pros

      They let you work remotely

      Cons

      No longer about helping people. All about greed and bringing in outside assets. A grind of a job with comparative low pay

      CEO doesn't care about employees

      Vice president

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salaries are good, and bonuses are offered for many job levels.

      Cons

      The company doesn't care about its employees and hides how it treats them. Despite having a banner year of best-ever profits in 2025, they did a reorg and began laying off 1.5% of its 13,000+ employee base in December 2025. Since it's a remote-first company, with a distributed workforce, they don't have to report mass layoffs of 50+ employees 60 days in advance via WARN. So they can keep a positive face to the public while they dump their high-performing employees without any notice. The CEO is only there to make money and improve profits for shareholders, not make anyone feel respected or valued.
