Wonderful coworkers, toxic environment.
Pros
Above average pay and a truly remote-first culture make this a compelling place to work. Some teams get travel perks, but it's highly selective. Vacation time is, despite what they say, limited. However, it's a fairly generous 35 days, including holidays that you choose to take off.
Cons
Our CEO recently spoke with us about attempting to prevent a culture of fear. Sadly, that is the only thing keeping the ship together. Since many workers are afraid to raise legitimate concerns or point out issues, development is cyclical and static. He won't relinquish control and trust his workers. No board of directors exists. No C-suite other than fervent yes guys. He merely believes his approach to be the best one. They were successful for many years because there was little competition, but they are now struggling in the face of many better alternatives. The numbers are dropping, and he refuses to heed the counsel of the countless bright individuals he has hired to repair it. In group calls, he has a reputation for publicly ridiculing others. Top management frequently lies.
