Flexible schedule, lots of time off, not a whole lot of oversight (sometimes, yikes!). Competitive pay, benefits, and bonuses (which ended after I left).
Cons
Too many changes, too little oversight of complex legal matters, over-promising and under-performing for clients causes a negative feedback loop for other team members. Management could care less too.

Business Outlook
Pros
- Fully remote
- Mostly nice and talented people, you can learn a bunch and the atmosphere is good in the beginning
- Once you realize you're not ever getting a raise you can get by doing bare minimum
- You can write the ceo on slack and he will respond, which is actually insane considering its such a huge company
Cons
- Everyone is underpaid, even the senior directors. They present employee equity as extra compensation, but make it very difficult to sell shares at secondaries.
- Raise/promotion policies are set up in a way where most ppl will never get it. I've seen superstar employees get 2% annual raise. The rest got 1%.
- Pay is localized, so you can do the same exact job but get pay half of the compensation if you're not based in the US.
- It's either employee contract for less money, and you have some employee rights given to you by your country, or more money but you're getting misclassified on a b2b contract and using vaction days when you get sick. The actual work requirements and responsibilities are the same in both cases.
- If you're not drinking the koolaid you better fall in line and keep any opinions challenging the status quo to yourself
- Manager can get pretty manipulative, they'll say anything to appease you, but will not act in your interest unless it aligns with their internal politics play
