Awesome company, friendly coworkers, good benefits
Awesome company, friendly coworkers, good benefits
Company and team leads really take care of work-life balance. For example, they frequently suggest taking days off, and they allow working in hours I want rather than US or EU timezones, like many other remote companies. Truly a remote company, I would say.
Colleagues are friendly, and there are many internal groups to support or entertain you.
3-month sabbatical every 5 years, unlimited vacation days, and 6-month parental leave are all great perks I really appreciate.
No stockings or options. No year-end bonus. But instead, they have an option to invest in the company with their own money.

They don't really hire for positions. Rather, when you apply, you join a 'talent pool' where they may or may not get back to you. It's not really nice applying to such a void, but they do state that on their careers page.
