Fantastic benefits and work culture
Fantastic benefits, fantastic work culture, lovely coworkers, interesting and diverse work. Since Automattic is fully distributed, you will regularly work on teams spread across several time zones and countries.

Still pulling from its startup days with little hierarchy and a hacky product culture, tech debt can be difficult and frustrating to overcome.
