Pros: I really appreciated the work flexibility here. As a Software Engineer, I could usually manage my schedule, even working remote from Austin, TX. The unlimited PTO policy helps a lot too, though I sometimes felt guilty using it.
Cons: There are definitely times when work-life balance suffers. During product launches or critical sprints, it's common to put in longer hours. The expectations can feel a bit much sometimes, making it tough to really disconnect.
Advice to Management: Try to set clearer boundaries around "crunch" times. Encourage teams to actually use their PTO without feeling pressured.

Pros: I like that it's a truly remote-first mid-sized tech company. As a Software Engineer, the WFH policy has been a lifesaver for my personal schedule. You really can work from anywhere, like remote from Austin for me.
Cons: Sometimes the flexibility means you're expected to be 'on' at weird hours. It's tough to fully disconnect when your work is always with you. There's not always clear guidance on setting boundaries.
Advice to Management: Managers should help set clearer expectations around 'off-hours' for remote employees. Encourage disconnecting fully, even with all the flexibility you offer.
