Pros

- The company lives by the ideals of remote work and its advantages - Extremely friendly people, similar to one big family

Cons

- Lack of any real processes with onboarding and training - Management/Leadership team has poor vision, wants to take action but unclear on proper steps to take - Poor communication among different organizations within the company - Unclear what the role of many people within the company is - So many promises made, so little followed through - Leadership is very self-important, yet many don't seem very excited about what they're doing

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
