Pros

- Good Life/ Work balance. - Great people to work with. - Unlimited PTO.

Cons

- Based in Florida, could be a HUGE career risk! - No credible vision to make this a serious player within the industry. - Terrible process standards within the organization. - Company is full of "big names" with their own personal agendas. Most of whom literally do ZERO work and are "retained" by the company to prevent liability. - Constant overlapping efforts towards basic system level features. - Terrible cross-team trust and communication. - Big wage gaps based on gender and race.
