Pros

The treatment that I have received at Chess.com is simply unbelievable for a company. Always willing to help, to care about ourselves, keep us motivated and specially, always relying on us and helping us to give our best. Erik and all the team are the best team I have ever had in all my life. I am sure I won't find a better team EVER.

Cons

Sometimes, you are so involved in the product and the company that you need to "force" yourself to disconnect but this is something that comes from myself. The company never asked me to work "more" or anything similar. They treat you so well that you feel incredibly involved with the company.

Pros

- Generally relaxed work culture - Incredible flexibility due to remote work - 99% of people here are good people and fun to work with - Interesting though still niche product - Seeing incredible growth in recent years

Cons

- Below market pay (they are working on this) - Lack of clear strategy at times, feels reactive - Senior leadership hired externally has generally been terrible, with a couple exceptions (need more internal promotions/growth) - Lack of solid retention incentives for top talent (though this is slowly improving, a bit late however)
