Pros

The engineers at Root are smart. You'll be working with top-tier engineers.

Cons

Inconsistent promotion requirements across teams. This is annoying if you switch teams. Company isn't doing well—laid off 20% of its staff recently. Company's pay isn't as competitive as it used to be, although it's not awful.

Remote tech company It was cool to have monthly meetings with the CEO . They kept you in the loop of what was going on

Cons

My manager was horrible . Instead of development and truly helping the team we felt as if he was just against us Pay was lower and work load was higher
