Automattic

The level of autonomy provided by Automattic enables a work-life balance that is nearly unachievable anywhere else. As an employee, one has an incredible amount of influence on what to work on, when to work, and where to work.

The organization's leadership is transparent, communicative, and wise in the way they lead the organization to be a successful, resilient company long-term.

The organization's mission is inspiring for many. The organization's culture is welcoming and truly set up for success in remote work, like no other.

Distributed, remote work can be challenging and come at the cost of efficiency in certain contexts. It can be difficult to become efficient in this environment, and efficiency will likely never resemble efficiency in a traditional, in-person environment. Decisions on compensation can feel quite opaque, which could be disheartening if it is a major factor in choosing an employer.

Continue leading and communicating in a transparent, thoughtful, long-term-focused manner.

Constantly seek opportunities to disrupt yourself with radical approaches to existing products and ideas.
