Pros

Remote or hybrid work opportunities are available, and Shearwater's product margins are very high.

Cons

Many members of the operations team work in a hybrid setup but do not contribute equally, while newer employees are assigned more work than those who have been around longer. You will struggle if you want to work for a company that strives for continuous improvement.
