Toxic Leadership, No Growth
Toxic Leadership, No Growth
- Decent health insurance for US employees
- Family-friendly AFK policies (for some roles)
C-level "leadership" is haphazard at best, toxic at worst. No clear career trajectory. Micromanagement runs amok. If you're not one of MM's besties, good luck making an impact.

Automattic Interview Experiences

After submitting an application, it took about two weeks to hear back (which I understand is pretty quick). Then, we had a Skype interview, which went well. I was put on a paid trial period where I got to work on a project, after which it was review

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.

The interview process was smooth and well-organized. The interviewers and HR staff were friendly and professional, and provided clear, detailed explanations throughout each stage, making the experience very positive overall.
