Pros

It's remote, but that's pretty much it. Although they like to advertise 'unlimited sick days', you'll have a hard enough time getting them to let you take your 2 weeks off.

Cons

All the trappings of a serious job minus the pay and respect. You can expect: - Pushy colleagues - Micromanaging - Excessive teams calls (they like to 'check-in') - Scanty wages - No annual bonus (despite what they'll tell you) - Menial work - Limited opportunities for advancement (They usually hire externally)

Pros

Fun company. Great sales leader. Great sales team.

Cons

Company wasn't funded properly to sustain growth and this ultimately impacted employee compensation and morale.

Pros

Remote-first culture supports work-life balance.

Cons

This company shows a fundamental lack of understanding and respect for software and software engineers, which is ironic for a company whose entire reason for existence centers around software. I have seen much better treatment from non-software-based companies. To AbleDocs, software teams are seen more as a necessary step in bringing ideas to life, rather than an integral component of the service itself. Software projects are considered to be "done" when released and to not require active support. Apparently, their vision was that software products could be maintained almost entirely by non-developers. Team members often wondered why they had been hired as developers at all, considering that the leadership ultimately seemed to want to kludge together pre-built tools rather than build their own product. And as other reviews have mentioned, this company does not follow labour laws, and does not follow through on many of the benefits that they advertise. Be warned.
