Pros

Working remote means great work/life balance. Most of the people are pretty cool. People who use the products really love them.

Cons

No vision. No direction. Basically the same company it was 3 years ago, just more bugs. Everyone here is content with just making a product that makes it easy to steal content. But people who steal content don’t pay. Management talks about new services, but doesn’t care what might get new users, what current users want, or tell employees what the vision is. Only two people make decisions, and they are usually bad ones. Also, the company is cheap!

Pros

- Excellent engineering team that is highly involved in the design process and - Free travel twice a year to cool places and everyone is pretty cool IRL - Good work/life balance - The CEO, founders and HR are pretty cool

Cons

- I heard many employees complain during one of the cons that they didn't get raises and they didn't have opportunities for promotions even though they had been there for many years. That was a red flag to me and a big reason for my exit.
