Pros

Remote work and competitive salary.

Cons

High turnover and bad leadership. No one knows what's going on or who to go to for what because people keep leaving. There's no process to get work done so no one is set up for success. There's also no upward mobility and the morale is low. Don't think this company will sustain, they're going to fold.

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.
