Pros
  • Working async
  • Working from home
  • Flexible hours (only 2-3 1-hour calls per week)
  • Heavily involved with open source (WP, Gutenberg)
  • Being able to drive decisions
  • Very well structured: you always have a point of contact (e.g., HR, mentor, team leader)
  • Agile methodology; strive to deliver value to the customer in each iteration
  • New technologies (React)
  • Colleagues are super helpful and always cheerful
  • Home office can be totally expensed (MacBook, desk, chair, etc.)
Cons

Landing a job may usually require more than 3 months. Nothing wrong about that, though; it is just the procedure, which is actually very well-structured.

Advice to Management

Keep up caring about the employees' health, happiness, and development.
