Pros

Not applicable to the discussion at hand.

Cons

...how every negative review of this company is answered by a post from the company refuting the claim of the person making the negative comment. As a former employee, who has made such a comment, only to have it rebuffed by the company I would like to add that if the company put as much time into making its workers feel as important to them as their reputation on sites like this, instead of like the serfs they treated us as, then perhaps they wouldn't have to pay people to argue so many negative comments. Just saying is all.

Pros

Not micro-managed, 100% remote, some great coworkers

Cons

Weird-infighting, lack of clarity on who owns what, a tendency to hire expensive consultants instead of asking the people they hired if they've been working on exactly what they've been looking for for years
