Great company to work for.
Great company to work for.
I was at Automattic for nearly 5 years and learned so much in that time. It's full of very talented people who are supportive and happy to share their knowledge. I felt I developed professionally a great deal and only left the company because I wanted to go further and had hit the peak of what I could accomplish there. I am now in a leadership role at another company and don't think I could have made it here without the experience I gained at Automattic.
- Great team
- Excellent benefits
- Great products
Maybe a bit chaotic at times, and it wasn't clear how decisions about product development and direction were made. Often, the first time a new feature was seen by the support teams was when it was available for users, and they had questions about it.

Worth the wait! I totally understand why the hiring process took so long. The entire hiring process is text-based. Yes! It's unusual, but I know Automattic has its purpose for doing that. That is their way to see if the candidate would be a good fit

The entire interview was conducted via e-mail and Slack. The first interview was with an Engineer, followed by a code test. It wasn't particularly difficult, but there were some curveballs that required a strong understanding of WordPress.
