Pros

There's minimal process, and things are really up to your team on how you work. That sentiment is propagated from leadership down as well, to make sure that process doesn't get in the way of writing code quickly and efficiently.

The ability to transition into different roles when you feel that you've stagnated in yours or see another interesting opportunity is also great. You still feel incentivized to stay at the company due to the great culture and work/life balance.

Cons

Sometimes it's difficult to unhinge from work since there is a lot going on at once, and being permanent work-from-home introduces challenges around growth and connection with your team. All solvable things, but a challenge nonetheless.

Advice to Management

Come up with more ways for teams to develop a connection past just a professional level now that we're all remote, since things like that help the team work together better and feel more comfortable talking with one another.
