Pros

There are some good teams with very nice people.

Cons

Enjoy micro management, no career development and no learning? Then this is the company for you. At least when you are in a team where all the senior devs are remote. They lack basic social skills and empathy and are very condescending. Knowledge sharing is very poor as they do everything to avoid being "disturbed" (and yet they openly admit having design discussions between themselves). "Manager" (100% remote, doing everything not to be disturbed as well) is completely lacking managerial skills and is probably the worst I've ever had. Recently added one more "manager" to help - and soon there will be probably more managers than devs. Also some projects are written without any design (which maybe is kind of good - as you can experiment freely - at least until you are told to rewrite everything which gets boring after the fifth time). You will never hear any praise for your work - everything and everyone is a failure mentality.

Pros

Excellent knowledge within the team, very friendly people and the remote-first culture really shines. Extremely highly-skilled staff and lots of space to upskill. CEO and other teams are also open to communicating and sharing ideas. Lots of forward thinking. Decent salary (but only just!). Bonus schemes are just about acceptable. Pension is relatively good.

Cons

Product-owners / leaders are overworked, and some use workflows / technologies / ideas which are out-dated and inefficient. Most of the employees are extremely senior, but there appears to have been a string of new starters suffering from visibility. Often, completed work sits rotting in review stages, with arguments from managers/owners killing all forward momentum. This means lots of wasted effort and dead productivity, reflecting unfairly on individuals.

Pros

Great work life balance, super flexible in terms of working hours.

Cons

It's not a fast-paced environment - so if that's what you want this is probably not the place for you.
