Pros

Remote opportunity and decent pay that’s the only pros.

Cons

The level of micromanagement here is honestly exhausting. Proper training is almost nonexistent, most of the time you’re expected to figure things out on your own or depend on colleagues for help. What’s worse is the pressure starts from day one itself. If you don’t immediately start performing, they quickly label you as underperforming and may even put you on a PIP. The targets are unrealistic from the beginning, and it genuinely feels impossible for a normal person to consistently meet them. Once someone is put on PIP, the expectations become even more unreasonable, almost like it’s designed for you to fail. Eventually, they use performance issues as the reason to let people go. Overall, the work culture is extremely stressful and unhealthy. If you care about career growth, learning in a supportive environment, or having any work-life balance, I’d seriously suggest exploring other options. Unless you’re okay working 14–15 hours every single day under constant pressure, this may not be the right place.

Pros

-the pay is average, not on the low end of tech -remote work -your peers are incredibly smart

Cons

-incredibly toxic work environment -changing goal posts for metrics -being yelled at is the norm and HR does not care -friends of friends and special treatment: many outliers who have ins with VPs or above who do little to no work (one in particular decided they wanted to be an instagram influencer and posted non-stop during work hours) yet their counterparts who did their work for them got laid off -more yelling: at least one weekly meeting where you just turn your mic down and disassociate while team members have a power struggle and waste time -zero upward trajectory in the company
