Pros

- Really skilled engineering & data science team, helped me level up and introduced me to new things. - Great manager in my team. - Getting paid every week :) - Working from wherever you wanted. - Opens opportunities for other jobs via their platform.

Cons

- Paid by the hour, no PTO. This has changed since I left, but for people who are effective in their work, it was challenging - Different benefits for local than remote. It's unintuitive for a company that wants to push remote first. For example remote people weren't entitled stock options, no matter the role, effort or appreciation they were getting. - A lot of things and meetings happened in PST. If you were working from Europe this could be a problem.
