Pros
  • One of the best company cultures I have ever worked with -- positive, mission-driven, growth mindset oriented.
  • Remote only allows everyone the flexibility to work where they want without concern for missing out by not being in the office.
  • Rails / Ruby development is a joy to work with.
  • Great work life balance.
Cons

Compensation is lower than competitive FAANG companies.

Career progression is not clearly defined; performance reviews are lacking structure.

Development practices are not as strong, rigid, or consistent across the company.

Remote work can get a bit lonely if you don't seek out the appropriate amount of social time that you may need.

Advice to Management
  • Compensate appropriately for top talent, which means identifying top talent and rewarding them accordingly.
  • Stronger, more enforced company-wide development practices and style guides.
  • Continue to invest in remote tooling to improve company and team engagement and social relationships.
