Pros

- Work on what you love with room to explore your (relevant) interests (albeit within the company's best interests) - Culture is highly understanding, cooperative, and supportive - Employees respect each other - Management respects employees and recognizes their efforts - Employees' personal time is respected - Freedom to choose your own schedule - Management is open/non-secretive

Cons

- The remote environment makes it possible to get siloed, but the siloing could be avoided with a little effort to communicate with others and join meetings/open offices - It may take a bit to complete a feature/improvement (pending reviews, etc.) because everyone else also has their hands full with other features/improvements. Plus potential re-iterations provoked by reviews and other changes of product (a consequence of the long lifecycle of a PR). However, this is something that is actively being improved, with the company mindset recently having moved towards trying to get polished features out sooner in order to get feedback and iterate on them. - Have to do support shifts which (although beneficial for learning about the product) can be a bit tedious/boring at times

Pros

Amazing international team, great product with very interesting customers. Company cares about employees and there's a lot of flexibility. The company is designed for remote work which makes it quite a unique experience.

Cons

There's a lot of work to do so the job can be demanding (not necessarily a bad thing but can get stressful at times).
