Pros

Fantastic culture that treats employees like adults. Gobs of mutual team trust that makes it fun and exciting to work here. Kindness permeates. The work load is stimulating and challenging. The products and services we are building are super useful in an age of corporate malpractice regarding individual privacy.

Cons

This is a company for professionals who have a lot of remote experience and value remote work. If you don't have a lot of remote experience or are on the fence about it, this is not the job for you.

Pros

Great work environment. The office is not that big but all the employees are very friendly and you get to know them very well through work and many company dinners. The work itself is not super difficult as long as you stay on top of it. You are also given freedom to work on projects of your choice for the company.

Cons

I have absolutely no complaints.

Pros

Very autonomous remote work - can work anywhere at any time so long as I get my work done. No micromanaging. Really bright, intelligent people - I'm always learning from people around me. Opportunity to grow skills and expand in new directions over time. I always feel like I can bring ideas to the table & be honest. Company truly believes in its values and keeps them strong in its culture. Salary and benefits are competitive. Good work-life balance. Refreshing company culture - transparent, non-hierarchical, walks the walk. Also provides opportunity to meet up in person with your coworkers, which is always fun and invigorating.

Cons

The interview process was the most rigorous I've been through but in retrospect it did provide a mutual opportunity to see if it was a good fit for both parties. And it gave me time to learn about the DuckDuckGo way of doing things.
