Pros

1. Non-engineering team members are cheerful and motivating. 2. Somewhat good pay (still below market average). 3. Somewhat good benefits (10 Paid time off, 6 sick days, and local holidays as per your country max .12 days). semi-flexible working hours and fully-remote .

Cons

1. No good code/task documentation or code explanation. 2. Management is not very organized. 3. Toxic and stressful engineering environment (CEO called me out on public calls multiple times and even called me a liar, and a senior team member always made fun of me when I asked him a question). 4. Termination without a notice period and no compensation (even though the contract states that the terminated person should get either). 5. The current codebase quality and the seniors' skill levels are not the best I have seen. (I didn't learn much there). 6. 45-hour work week.

Pros

Incredible opportunities to take ownership of projects and make a real impact on the company’s products. A collaborative, remote-first environment that promotes flexibility and work-life balance. Paid in USD, which is a fantastic perk, especially for remote workers outside the U.S. A great place to learn about e-commerce, CRO, and digital product development, with a hands-on approach that challenges you to grow. Friendly and approachable team members who are always willing to collaborate.

Cons

As with any startup, processes are still evolving, and things can sometimes feel fast-paced or unstructured. Benefits could be improved to stay competitive and better support employees in the long term.

Pros

I’ve been working here for almost four years, and it’s been a great journey :) The environment is collaborative, and I’ve built strong relationships not only with my close team but also with the CEO, which is rare and so valuable. This is a place where you can really grow, if you want. I’m constantly learning and expanding my skills, and the support from everyone around makes it even better.

Cons

Sometimes the time zone differences mean I have to tweak my schedule to chat with someone, but it doesn’t happen often and isn’t a big deal
