Pros

Remote work in a team that has trusted to get the job done makes a world of difference. Not the case for all teams within the organization I heard. Fast paced work, lots of problem solving, and never a dull moment. If you don't do well in that type of environment, look elsewhere. Teammates are stellar and has the same motivation and drive to help the company succeed.

Cons

Misled by the CEO of the company. Held monthly ”All Hands” to get updates on the significant progress in achieving goals. ”Hitting insane goals, let's keep up the great work. Everything is going tremendously well!” Corona pandemic hits, two weeks in, brought in for a town hall meeting. CEO comes in and shares a brief story on how Peerfit needs to survive this. Going in maintenance mode, to achieve this, we're eliminating 40% of the company. Just. Like. That. I got the boot after the feeling of thinking we were safe. Computer locks down within a few minutes after. Its culture and hopes for the survival of the company look bleak.

Pros

For context, there were layoffs in April which is why you may see a bunch of negative reviews around that time. I thought I'd write a more balanced review now that we're five months out from those layoffs. I'm just an Engineer, I'm not a shill. - really great people, talent and personality wise, my favorite part of working here - plenty of interesting projects to work on and opportunities for ownership - easy to shape your career here (for instance in product, you can switch between technical roles fairly easily -- management is very good about encouraging career growth) - product that actually has users and customers (so you're not pushing code into a void) - flexible schedule (remote first company) and unlimited PTO that you can actually use without feeling ashamed - again the people: no real slackers dragging down teams, no jargon or corpo-talk, everyone's pretty honest and trusting, people work hard but also it doesn't feel overbearing (great work/life balance, don't feel pressure to answer slack outside of regular work hours, etc.)

Cons

- priorities are frequently top-down - process has been a bit more rigid than I like - people love to have meetings (this might be a pro for some, but I prefer async communication and using slack)
