Pros

Remote working is the future and it's great to find a company that embraces it so fully. Schedules are flexible and as long as the work gets done, nobody really minds when you work. I've met people from all over the world, and twice a year we all get together in the same place. Everyone cares about the product and the business, and are truly some of the best at what they do. The hiring process is rigorous but it has to be to enable the company culture and ensure people can work together well. They would rather accept the "right" person for the company than the "best" person in the field. Everyone is a little bit mad :)

Cons

If you've never worked remotely before it would be a challenge to adapt. It's also difficult to structure your day around certain meetings due to the differences in timezones. I've found myself working later and later. The benefits offered are great but only if you live in the US. There is no healthcare, dental or 401k otherwise.

Pros

- I'm surrounded by highly intentional, motivated, experienced folks, but nobody has a big ego about it. - I'm given plenty of autonomy for deep focus time without being slowed down by too many processes or meetings. - We're each encouraged to use AI tools in whatever way works best for us, which is empowering and allows for a lot of experimentation. - The company and culture are healthy.

Cons

- As a fully-remote company across many time zones, it can sometimes be isolating.

Pros

People, leadership, and product are all great. The thing I appreciate most is how the company's culture is very anti-corporate politics. There's no room for BS here and it's a breath of fresh air for anyone used to the typical rodeo that is working in tech. They hire some seriously talented people to learn and grow alongside, and it shows, since the company is profitable and doing well. Remote work life balance is also fantastic.

Cons

I've been looking for the red flags since I started and haven't found any. Maybe if you're a person not comfortable with rapid changes, and are used to being handed a playbook, it could be overwhelming. They give you autonomy to take ownership over your work and find your way to succeed. That will be empowering to some, but maybe daunting to others.
