Pros

- remote work - pay was decent

Cons

Direction is sorely lacking and management is constantly getting in each other's way as well as are just out of their depth. The flagship product for the company went 2 years without a major update because of an ego contest between upper management. Technology overall is sorely outdated and impossible to update because technical leadership is either completely non-technical or focused on minimizing cost at the expense of literally everything else. It's an HR company masquerading as a tech company.

Pros

Work from home culture creates nice work from home balance. Great atmosphere and you do not feel micromanaged and pressured. Great team to support you when you have questions.

Cons

Started when understaffed, so training was cut short and had to really learn on the fly. Changes can happen with short notice, but that is expected in this business.
