Pros

Remote-first is great. The individuals on the teams are some of the best people to work with.

Cons

SLO and senior management have their heads in the clouds, beholden to shareholders and not having a firm grasp on the value of their employees. The recent layoffs in June really put a dent in company morale, and the burnout for those who are left is real.
