      Pros

      Everyone is extremely helpful and honest, transparency is like I've never seen before, everything about the company is documented and in the open handbook, great work/life balance where people respect each other's time and overall a really great environment. The interview process might take a bit longer but in my experience, I had updates and knew the details at all steps, plus everything about the interview process is also documented so I could read by myself. All the general struggles in remote are thought of and mitigated or alleviated: coffee calls and daily "breakout groups" calls for the social interactions that you may miss in a remote environment, asynchronous communication and the "document everything" mindset for working across multiple timezones and many others.

      Cons

      None so far! (read the last line above)

      Pros

      Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

      Cons

      Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

      Pros

      OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

      Cons

      Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
