Pros

Platform is truly the best in the space. Flexible work environment. Some good benefits and perks.

Cons

Company has laid people off or eliminated positions and hasn’t communicated or openly discussed it with the company. Core value is trust through transparency, but there isn’t any transparency. There is not a lot of collaboration between departments and disorganization.
