Pros

Benefits - remote working Thats all !

Cons

Teams are totally underwater! They dont know what to do - where to go ! They are blaming each other for everything. Teams are not working as teams they are just getting backfired by people that are people and culture. No help, shouting at people. Dont go there... and if take what you can and go!

Pros

- most of the people are great to work with

Cons

- company keeps changing direction, essentially have no idea where they're heading - seems like the main goal is to please shareholders - lots of products, but none of them are the best in their space - overall a lot of areas for improvement
