Beware of Team Culture and Management

Pros

Stayed at the company because telecommuting is a great perk. But at some point, you wonder if that is enough to offset the kind of poor management and unhealthy team dynamic. Note this is dependent on the team you're on. Company culture as a whole is not bad.

Cons

Lots of strong individual contributors get promoted but I've seen too many of those promoted to people managers who make terrible bosses. The worst part is they were able to get promoted because of political savvy so even the type of bullying, micromanagement, and all sorts of management nightmares go undetected by most with their subtle harassment.
