PROS AND CONS
We want to be very honest about the pros and cons of working with us, as it would be a waste for both parties otherwise.
| Pro | Con | |
| Fully remote | You live where you want and create your own schedule | If you are very extroverted and derive your energy from working in physical proximity to others this job is not for you |
| High level of autonomy | You will be given the opportunity to fully use your brain, and be both the architect and the builder | You will largely be left to figure things out for yourself, if you are uncomfortable with ambiguity it may not be for you |
| High expectations | You will be challenged and grow very quickly, it will be stimulating and energizing |
If you react badly to pressure it may not be for you |
