Fantastic company to work for - great for the self-directed
Pros
1. Is fully remote (distributed) 2. Has an amazing and inclusive culture that operates in practice 3. Pay and benefits are amazing 4. I have a fantastic team that I work with 5. Get to travel overseas 4-5 times per year 6. Great home setup with generous allowance for desk/chair and IT 7. Great level of autonomy to design the work for you (within reason) 8. Everyone is super helpful so can easily ask questions and they get answered, quickly too. 9. Genuine work/life balance culture and as someone from Europe working for a US company this was a fear of mine, glad to say they actively encourage time off
Cons
1. Being fully remote is not for everyone 2. Need to be self-directed and take responsibility to get your work done, this is a company that treats you as adult to adult, therefore we assume responsibility for our work 3. You need pretty strong IT skills even if the role you are going for is non-IT 4. There is a lot to take in at the beginning and it can feel overwhelming (pro-tip hang in there and ask lots of questions - everyone is super helpful) 5. Has a flat structure in terms of career path opportunities but has huge growth for learning opportunities. I like that it is lacking in the typical hierarchal structure.
