Pros

Working remote is very comfortable, as they let you work at your own pace and don't force you on camera the entire work shift.

The environment is very open and positive.

Systems take a bit to get used to, but they provide a very simple and straightforward work structure.

Cons

Some of our learning assets are out of date and need to be updated to be more clear with newcomers. I wish we could have worked on updating these during my time, but the unfortunate layoffs prevented that.

Communication can be rather slow, especially with senior engineers. This is a problem the team was aware of, however, and they are trying their best to solve it in order to get code/ticket reviews moving.
