Pros
Remote work can be convenient. Some of the employees are wonderful people. Swag is cute.
Cons
There was a major shift once the company was bought out by a VC. There was a significant change to management; it was abrupt and not kind to leaders who had been there for years. Everyone is overworked, and is constantly being asked to pick up projects and responsibilities outside of their initial job scope. The most valued workers are the ones who make this job their life. "Unlimited PTO" becomes a scam when you have all of the same work waiting on your return, as no one has the bandwidth to assist. Because of the constant surprise layoffs (brutal after you spend so much time getting to know your kind co-workers) the remaining employees become cut-throat and speak poorly about their "competition" to their managers, who are looking for any way to become profitable and "trim the fat". They are starting to off-shore development work, which they would know won't work if they had kept any historical management. Overall, it feels like the only goal is to make more money for investors and the initial C-suite.
