Business Outlook

Pros

Great Software, great leaders, amazing opportunity ahead. Everybody is kind, positive, wants to help, contribute, collaborate. Remote culture/asynchronous work and inclusion/diversity are core values, proven every day. And it helps balance pro/personal lives. Transparency (check gitlab.com!).

Cons

Difficult to create opportunities to meet in the flesh but that is more due to Covid than anything else

Tremendous work-life balance - Opportunities to grow with no ending in sight

Sales development representative (sdr)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Be your own manager - Flexibility due to remote and asynchronous work/life balance - Great amount of freedom regarding vacation (days) and time-off! - Benefits all across the board - Very friendly management, C-level are basically friends! - Everyone helps everyone, no one is left out. - Many opportunities to grow, vertically or horizontally. - Somewhat flat hierarchy

Cons

- If remote is something new, its quite a thing to get adjusted to. - (sometimes AMER, APAC meetings are too early/late to attend in person) -> asynchronous video recap would be a positive here in this case.
