Ventajas

Remote work and decent pay. Chicago and St. Petersburg folks have the option of going into the office if they want. Work life balance can be easy to maintain if you set firm boundaries. There are the standard tech perks, like learning budgets and unlimited PTO that people actually use, and leadership encourages you to use it. There are some areas of high functionality depending on what team you’re on, your area of expertise, and who you report to.

Desventajas

There is a lot of churn around teams. The purpose of teams is not clear, and role clarification is not clear either. 
 There is a lot of firefighting and heroism, and people are rewarded more for their ability to put out fires than they are for creating long-term solutions. Case in point, there was a large fire put out last year and the people who put out the fire were all given bonuses, while the people working on the long-term solution was insulted and then the team was disbanded. 

Front end work and engineers are not valued as highly as back end. The culture has improved, but is still biased toward back end.

Ventajas

Remote work, decent benefits for some things. If you thrive in high stress/high pressure situations, with constant change & pivoting priorities, this place is for you.

Desventajas

Kin having the value “Operate lean; deliver more” should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about working at this company. There is little to no training yet the expectations to produce & perform are very high. Flexible/unlimited PTO is part of the benefits but if you feel like you can’t ever take time off because you’re so busy with work/deadlines, it’s not really a benefit. Not to mention, the time leading up to taking more than a few days off is SO stressful trying to get everything done or ready to be handed off that you question if it’s even worth it. Burnout is a very real thing at this company. They terminate people quite frequently here so you are often in fear of losing your job which adds another level of stress on top of everything else. While they are flexible, the work/life balance is poor. Working evenings & weekends is frequently necessary to meet deadlines.
