Pros

Generally great recruiters to work with Fulltime Remote Work

Cons

My teammate left the company, but they didn't backfill her for over 5 months, leaving me with twice the work & working 60+ weeks. No opportunity for movement or growth - when I voiced interest in a role I knew would be opened soon, I was told I'd certainly be considered. A few months later we were introduced to the new hire--I hadn't been informed the job had been opened, much less given an interview. I was then tasked with training the new hire. I started looking for a new job immediately, accepting a demotion just so I could leave. Very little interest from my leadership team in helping their teams grow
