Pros

- Wonderful remote-first culture that offers flexibility. Taking last-minute time off for 'life' stuff or needing to step away from your desk for an hour or 2 is not an issue - The PRODUCTS! They work. And they're great.

Cons

Growth here feels next to impossible, and the favoritism is hard to ignore. Since I started, someone who was hired around the same time as me has been reactively promoted three times only because people above them left. For the rest of us, getting promoted feels like yelling into a void. You can advocate for yourself all you want but promotions are gatekept by VPs. If they don't know or like you, good luck. VP leadership is not great. They’re overly involved to the point of micromanaging, yet somehow still completely out of touch. Feedback is vague (if it comes at all), so when review season rolls around, any “constructive” criticism is usually a surprise. They’re always hovering, but never actually available and definitely not approachable.

Pros

I've never been happier in a role. Supportive environment, great leadership, collaborative team members. Great benefits and transparency into what's going on at the company.

Cons

If you're remote, may feel harder for you to get to know LA colleagues, but everyone is super inclusive and there are lots of opportunities to get to meet people in person!

Pros

This is a great place to work if you care about work life balance. I have never been in a place with such great flexibility when it comes to doctors appointment and other needs, I truly appreciate this, and it helps me to be more efficient at work. People are really friendly, I love the values of the company, the initiatives and the truly unique benefits and company events that makes this company a fun place to work in. I also feel mentally challenged constantly and motivated to be more curious.

Cons

Lack of opportunities to grow, favoritism.
