      Pros

      Completely async organization. You work when you need to. Results are the only thing that matter. I truly believe is as close as it will get to a meritocratic organization. Focus fridays with no meetings pretty much means its a 4 day work week. I'd say probably closer to 4.5 day work week Unlimited PTO without question. Within my first year I took 2.5 months off and my manager told me to take more.

      Cons

      If you're not from a developer background or not technical generally you have a super rough time onboarding and getting up to speed. Async work styles benefit some individuals more than others
