Pros

- Truly a fully remote company - Competitive pay - International meetup every 6 months or so - Minimum recurring meetings - Flexible hours

Cons

- Tight deadlines typical of startups - Almost no HR or DEI - The expectations of the roles hired for can drastically change after starting due to management not understanding what they actually need. Be sure to align on expectations with management before accepting any job. - During the interview process, Management claimed that very low turnover, but noticed immediately after starting that they let go of a couple of people per month on average. - Claim an A-sync work culture, where no one expects responses right away, but this depends on who you work with.

Pros

Easily the best job I've ever had. The leadership overseeing the team genuinely cares about everyone and I've learned more in my first few months than the last few years. Clear attainable pathways to outsized commission checks. The culture is truly shocking in a good way. You join a new company and you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and at Circle every person you meet, whether they're new or been here for years (very low turnover) is passionate about the mission, product, customers, and company. Having met the whole team at a company offsite (every 6 months, most recently in castle north of Paris. Insane, I know) everyone from the CEO on down is a friendly person that cares about what you have to say and wants to know you. Everyone on the team I want to be friends with. Couldn't be more grateful to work here.

Cons

I only get to see the team in person a few times a year!
