Good company in struggle

Pros

100% remote. Good colleagues. Many learning chances. Sprint planning is well organized. The engineers are learning and catching up with software development standard.

Cons

Unexpected layoff with no transparency. Short of quality assurance and dev ops, so engineer needs to do a lot of errands other than focusing on business logic.

Pros

I would say only remote work for now. 401k is decent

Cons

- several of high performers and first 50 employees were laid off. That tells you can be booted no matter how good you perform - constant reorgs - no tech standards - no roadmap - toxic culture people throwing you under the bus - lot of politics. Managers who didn't perform are still there - rsu down
