Pros

I would say being able to work fully remote was a great perk for this organization. Pay is relatively competitive for fully remote roles and you get good PTO based on your pay grade level. A handful of people at organization were helpful and good to work with.

Cons

Up or out type of organization, they will get rid of you after a few years if you're not meeting goals or getting promoted. You have to be self-sufficient and work hard with little oversight.
