Pros

No pros that I can think of

Cons

They removed our sick time and gave us less PTO and more expensive health insurance that didn’t cover anything. They then laid off our entire team and replaced us with AI and employees in other countries to save money.

Pros

Remote first company Once out of operations you really manage your own time.

Cons

Excessive Workloads Poor choice in Team Leads Don’t get sick and if you do pray it doesn’t last longer than your FMLA 12 weeks because they will fire you! Even after 8 years of employment. Even when it is documented that they are responsible for the health issues caused by burnout!
