Great Autonomy, No Benefits
Great Autonomy, No Benefits
- Autonomy
- Flat structure
- Remote work
- Travel
- Variety in projects, and you can gravitate towards what you’d like to work on (tooling, full-stack, WP, react).
- Professional development and executive coaching
-
No benefits, no retirement savings, no health insurance. US employees have this, but not the rest of us.
-
Opaque compensation, no levels, lack of job security. Raises and salary seem arbitrary.
-
If your lead is not good, your life will be harder.
- Introduce levels and career paths.
- More consistency and higher-level direction/strategy.
