So far so good. First time I've had work/life balance in a long time.

Pros

I've been working here for under a year, and so far, it is a great place to work. Leadership is thoughtful. Micromanagement is non-existent. There is room for career growth as many people move into more senior positions. I appreciate how much time people take to think about how the company can grow while still trying to keep it a sane, manageable workload. It is fully remote, and because they have been remote pre-pandemic, they know how to run a remote operation. Solid benefits with a PTO policy that actually encourages taking time off. Family-friendly workplace -- they understand that people need autonomy to be able to live their lives (pick up kids, drs. appointments, self-care, etc.)

Cons

You do have to be motivated to work independently and do some digging to find answers to various questions that come up, though it seems like they are working to make this whole process easier and more efficient.

Amazing place to work

Pros

The people, the mission, the community we serve. Leadership cares for employees and it shows. 100% remote company, flex time, benefits including 100% paid healthcare premiums. Smart, kind, and humble colleagues.

Cons

We're growing so quickly so there's always more work to do than there's time in the day. Leaves me feeling like I want to do more but my manager is great about work/life balance, insisting I take my PTO. This growth also comes with more process being needed, more structure, more systems to get work done. These things aren't always in place.

Once inspiring company now feels disorganized and frantic

Pros

-unlimited PTO -really smart people across the company -the open source community loves RStudio and you feel like you’re making an impact -Slack/Google company

Cons

This company has declined sharply over the last two years and it's painful to watch. Leadership has churned across multiple departments, and the new leaders do not have a clear strategy for how to save the sinking ship. Direction shifts every quarter with no time to learn whether anything is working. The flat, approachable and “non-org chart” culture that defined this place is gone. New execs and VPs are unreachable, make decisions without collaboration, fail to protect their teams' time, and sit too far from the actual work to notice that things keep getting added to people's plates while nothing comes off. Sales has missed quarterly targets for nearly two years. Finances are tight. Roles disappear without explanation. Money still gets spent on expensive tools that were never vetted with the people expected to use them. Plus, theres the AI pressure that a lot of other tech companies are dealing with, which now has created a workforce that lives in constant fear that they're next to be let go. It is genuinely sad to see a once inspiring company become this colorless, frantic, disorganized version of itself.
