Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility, All-Remote, Colleagues, Competitive Pay, Values

Cons

At times it feels as if there is too much process and procedures in some departments/orgs, and not enough structure in others. It feels difficult to strike a balance between a handbook page for every single possible scenario and almost no process/support/staffing for some functions which have been deprioritized. Culture and values have gradually declined in favor of short-term goals as the company tightens its belt and focuses on shareholder (R)esults.
