Pros

Fully distributed workforce allows for employees to work from anywhere. Benefits are ok. Stock vesting happens on a quarterly basis.

Cons

The lack of a coherent strategic framework creates a lot of internal chaos. The only aspirational company goal seems to be to increase complexity for their customers and their employees. Leadership is non-existent with a management philosophy that revolves entirely around the power of authority. Zero work-life balance (all work, no life). If you're 100% about the paycheck (and nothing else) then this place is for you.
