Pros

It's about getting the job done. You log in, work on whatever is your priority, log out and forget about it until you choose to log in again. You work when you want to and stop when you want to. If you're going to be away, you put that in the calendar, you don't need to ask permission to have time off. You're part of a tightknit team and people will count on you to do your part. If you slack and let the team down, then you will likely not be on the team any longer. I saw another reviewer said the below - I was going to rewrite it, but I'll quote it as-is, as it's perfect: "You have a set of tasks with clear priorities. You show up and you do it, and then you clock out and get on with your life. If you just want to show up and collect a paycheck, there's room for that here. If you want to get involved and build something, there's room for that here too. Most of all, Soflyy provides flexibility. You can work when you want and where you want. The company is truly async, you will never receive a notification."

Cons

I'm not certain that these are a con, but I can see how they'd be considered as negatives by some people. For me, it's perfect. They will not hold your hand and coach you along. You complete your training and then you need to be able to run with it. If you can't do that, you don't belong at Soflyy. There aren't frequent meetings and you can't call for help. It's fully remote. If you want to chat to colleagues or spend time together, then this isn't the job for you. If you screw up, they'll let you know. They won't beat around the bush, they'll be direct and to-the-point. If you like your failings wrapped up in cotton wool, look elsewhere. As another reviewer said, lots of ideas end up in the bin. Great ideas are acted upon. Soflyy has high standards.

Pros

- Very fast paced, working on building very unique and interesting projects from the ground up - Great place to grow, where your feedback is valued - Flexibility, to work on your own schedule - Management is very accommodating and will make sure you are doing things you enjoy. - Very stable company with a bright future ahead - Great team of people

Cons

Even with the flexibility, it can be slightly demanding at some times, although that comes more with the role rather than the company. Additionally, unlike many other companies, they notice this and consistently ensure that they are providing everything possible to make sure you have all the resources you need to succeed.

Pros

I have a lot of friends who work for other remote companies, and hearing their stories makes me appreciate working at Soflyy even more. The purpose of this company is to make money. They've chosen to do that by building good products and treating people right, both their customers and their employees. There are no benefits in the traditional sense. There's no HR. There are no contracts. There is no Slack channel for memes and cat pics. There are no "optional" social Zoom calls. In fact, there aren't really any calls. Or meetings. Or emails. The cruft has been stripped away. There is zero bureaucracy. You have a set of tasks with clear priorities. You show up and you do it, and then you clock out and get on with your life. If you just want to show up and collect a paycheck, there's room for that here. If you want to get involved and build something, there's room for that here too. Most of all, Soflyy provides flexibility. You can work when you want and where you want. The company is truly async, you will never receive a notification.

Cons

You will produce things that will end up in the garbage can. It can be demoralizing, but it's a side effect of a company that gives a lot of freedom to execute on a project and has high standards. If you need your workplace to provide friends and social interactions, you will not find that here. If you need your workplace to have some sort of political or social mission, making the world a better place, you will not find that here. If you need a lot of handholding and want frequent meetings/calls/help, you will not find that here.
