Frontend Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Good pay and benefits. I was able to work fully remote, as I live more than two hours away from the office.

Cons: The company went through a re-org. The new team is not as nice as the previous team I was at, and it's hard to find another team to internally transfer to.
