Pluspunten

Very nice colleagues with good managers who are oriented towards problem solving. Management is ruthlessly focused on growth so seems like this company will do well in the long term. The CEO may be young and may not have any other experience besides Handshake, but he has built a very successful business and surrounds himself with smart people.

Minpunten

I can't express this enough: there is absolutely no work/life balance here. People are discouraged from ever taking any of their supposedly "unlimited" PTO by a culture of nonstop work, blackout dates, and the expectation that you'll be on email/slack on the few days you do manage to get off. Management has been made aware of employee unhappiness about this in multiple public forums but it has never been taken seriously and apparently they don't seem to think it's a problem.

Pluspunten

Real pay, many jobs, Slack for additional support, and flexible schedule geared towards Eastern time.

Minpunten

Schedule flexiblity still requires you to accept jobs in batches, without a definitive release date for each batch, and if you do not accept enough tasks in the timeframe you will be removed from the project. Timers do not pay if the task extends beyond the prescribed limit, and workers are encouraged to submit lower times regardless of the actual work required. For some tasks this is an extra 5 minutes, for others it could be an extra 20 hours.
