If you’re someone who works hard, be prepared to pick up the slack for others. It often felt like the people who didn’t put in much effort got a free pass while those who cared ended up doing way more than their share. Long hours were common for anyone trying to do a good job. Working 50 to 70 hours a week wasn’t unusual. A lot of the remote team didn’t seem fully engaged and some were clearly juggling more than one job. HR was not really available or helpful and management spent most of their time in meetings, so you were mostly left to figure things out on your own.
