Pros

You have the ability to work remotely.

Cons

It was clear from the start that the leadership here did not care about me or my success at company. There was no onboarding or guidance as to how I was supposed to proceed in this role or how my work would be evaluated. Every meeting that was scheduled with my manager was always canceled and never rescheduled, even when I requested it. There is a lot of mistrust and high turnover here. There is a lot promised here with no follow through. Proceed with caution.

Pros

Some of the team truly cares about making a meaningful impact.

Cons

Where do I even begin? Horrible management mixed with a complete lack of business acumen will be this company's downfall. The confidence of leadership making subpar decisions week after week is astonishing. Employee ideas and feedback rarely seem to carry weight. Suggestions were often dismissed without serious consideration, leaving the impression that leadership had little interest in input from the people actually doing the work. Consistent layoffs mean most don't last. It often felt like job security depended on being in management’s inner circles. Micromanagement culture means emails, messages, and computer activity are regularly monitored via company tracking software due to leaderships lack of trust. Seeing employees with tears in their eyes while being berated in company meetings and public settings was disheartening as well. Work-life balance was also a major issue, often driven by unrealistic deadlines. There were frequent after-hours expectations and it often felt difficult to disconnect, leading to burnout over time.
