Best job I ever had

Pros

- User-centric and empathetic approach to building product, and it's obvious how this mindset guides the features we build for our products - We're a small start-up, but we're bootstrapped and profitable, so we get the best of both worlds: job security as well as the excitement of a start-up - Transparent communication from leadership team; they are still very much involved in day-to-day operations, which is great as we all learn the rationale behind decisions - Opportunity to grow and learn; it feels like big achievements don't go unnoticed, and promotions are given fairly - Supportive and talented team members who contribute to a friendly atmosphere; this is a big reason why I love working here! - Remote, async, and flexible working; we make use of async communication tools like Twist instead of Slack - Fair and transparent pay

Cons

- Lean benefits package (no health insurance, small pension employer contribution), but the high pay makes up for this

Pros

Autonomy, flexibility and trust! Not one of those companies that sells you lies about how much are those things during the recruitment stage, it is genuinely a brilliant place. Although we are remote and from all walks of life, we all understand each other and trust each other to build something really special here. Truly asynchronous, so that I can work when I work my best and my output has not been better.

Cons

These aren't cons for me but could be if you work differently to this. - everyone is quite senior so you are expected to work autonomously and know your craft very well. No hand holding. - we are VERY a-sync and have very few meetings. This may not suit everyone but I love it. My only true con is as a whole company we can improve on feedback and praise.

Pros

The people here are great. Everyone here at Circuit is an experienced and talented professional, we are trusted to do our best work, and we have a culture of transparency and open communication. We work semi-asynchronously; my work-life balance has improved dramatically since I joined the team... and I get more work done! As a result of the co-founders' product/user-focused mindset and care for their team, we have a product that the team is proud of.

Cons

I hadn't worked in a fully remote, asynchronous company before, and adjusting to a new way of working took me a while. I would definitely say it is not for everyone - if you are sociable, need a lot of contact with others, and meetings are your jam, then this is probably not the place for you. Now that I have settled in... I love it. Hands-down the best job I have ever had.
