Pros

Remote Goodish product Ok benefits

Cons

Nerdio got $500m in funding and recently surpassed $100m in ARR. They essentially forced all of the employees to brag out it on LinkedIn. Then they proceeded to conduct mass layoffs with no real explanation. Greedy greedy founders that did it do make a quick buck.

Pros

• Collaborative, welcoming culture — people across teams are accessible and genuinely willing to help. One of the best teams I've been on. • Leadership is transparent and clearly invested in the company's direction • Strong remote culture with real flexibility and no expectation to always be "on". My particular manager is big on PTO meaning actually taking time away without continuing to check email/teams. • Competitive compensation and benefits — this the first time in at least 6 years my compensation matches my value. • Lots of opportunity to take ownership early, especially in marketing — career growth feels very real • Onboarding is smoother than at larger orgs thanks to how approachable everyone is

Cons

• Things move fast and priorities can shift, so adaptability and catching on quickly is a must • Some processes are still being built out, which can feel ambiguous at times — though that's also what makes it exciting if you like shaping things

Pros

Remote first company, passionate/talented team members, great product.

Cons

Below market salary, constant layoffs not based on performance, lack of alignment on roles/projects, “bring-your-own” device essentially forces you to foot the bill for your equipment.
