Pros

Remote working, that's it really.

Cons

-Rude, toxic managers who belittle and talk down to all employees in meetings. -Extreme micromanagement environment created by toxic management. -Dishonest business policies, they will say anything before you join and then instantly start changing your contract, paying you less or withholding money. Super shady and difficult to deal with when it comes to getting paid. -Management are very immature and despite saying they are open to feedback, they are not and should listen to the repeated pattern of feedback from glassdoor reviews (most of which have been deleted). -0 training or processes in place and no one really knows what they are doing. -Management frequently argue amongst themselves and have conflicting approaches. -No progression opportunity.

Pros

Co-workers were really nice and helpful.

Cons

Training was extremely rushed and the onboarding process was very messy. I quit after 2 weeks, CEO was very nice during the interview process then every subsequent call was unpleasant. In general, management have an issue with talking down to people, not very helpful or accommodating. CEO definitely has some temper issues and has no problem taking it out on new hires during calls or even on the communication channel. Other management were more pleasant but definitely condescending. They will take advantage of someone looking for a remote job.
