Pros

Good work life balance overall

Cons

Once this was discovered it was hard to support this company. The leader has very controversial views on world events. On Twitter she has on multiple occasions liked and engaged with propaganda news against minority groups that are suffering. This is not ok. She does not see the impact this has on her employees and their morale. And continues to make these remarks publically! Likely by the time this review is posted, they may be removed.

Poor leadership, frequent layoffs, low pay

Pros

Company is remote-first, there's no office

Cons

Echoing the previous review about the CEOs stance on current humanitarian crises. Her viewpoints are more than controversial, it's outright appalling the content she's been engaging with on social media. There have been annual layoffs for at least the last 4 years, some of which impacted ~50% of the company. Pay is extremely low, raises happen less than once every 1.5 years, and are very underwhelming when they do happen. I cannot in good faith recommend working for a company with such little regard for their employees and a CEO with such beliefs.

Pros

Small company, high visibility but that can only get you so far. Read the cons.

Cons

Company has frequent lay-offs. They put a clause in the employment contracts that basically says they can put you on temporary lay off anytime. And when they do, severance is terrible. This is because the business is just not performing well. Compensation is low compared to industry. Advancement opportunities are rarely given.
