Pros

Fully remote work with interesting projects

Cons

Too many layoffs and too much chasing the "shiny object"; including specific people allowing for a very dysfunctional workplace where talent isn't rewarded but favoritism is.

Pros

Company has a solid mission of bringing economic opportunities to freelancers all over the world.

Cons

Leadership is all over the place with setting and executing against goals. Employees thrown in situation without and context and having to "figure it out". Career path unclear and comps underwhelming compared to competitors.
