Pros

Well-structured training for new hires, a supportive manager, and a good salary for a fully remote position.

Cons

Fully remote can be challenging to settle in the first few months, but they try their best to make it smooth.

Pros

You work with great people and the unlimited PTO is a nice perk with WFH options.

Cons

Poor management, low pay, and a terrible work-life balance define the experience here. Expect constant harassment from both users and coworkers, driven by absurd and counterproductive policies. Middle management is overcrowded with people who are rude, dismissive, and seem more interested in justifying their positions than supporting the team. Getting anything done requires navigating unnecessary bureaucracy, and once delays inevitably occur, the same managers are quick to penalize you for falling behind. The onboarding process is practically useless—disorganized and lacking in real-world relevance—leaving you to figure things out on your own. Worse, you'll end up training new hires yourself, while still trying to manage your own workload. Performance is judged not only individually but as a team, so if one person slips, everyone gets dragged down and punished for it.
