Pros

The company is truly redefining the way that IT companies will work in the future. Work-life balance is incomparable: work at any time, from anywhere in the world you want. The company's values are not just on paper; the teams live by them. The company fosters a truly no-ego culture.

Cons

The only thing that becomes a challenge is that working full remote is not for everyone. It requires people and companies to put more intention/energy into "meeting people" in person, e.g., coworking days, off-site events, etc. The company does not pay for private health insurance in all countries, nor does it cover life insurance for employees.

Advice to Management

I would suggest the company consider adopting global healthcare and global life insurance for all employees (independent of the country they are living).

Even though some countries offer public healthcare, it's not necessarily free (or in some cases, not having private healthcare has tax implications).

All IT companies I have worked in the past offered both health and life insurance (at least partially paid, e.g., 50/50 employer/employee shared costs).
