Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate the positive feedback on the flexible working hours, unlimited PTO and benefits package. I’m disappointed to hear that your experience working in Sales did not meet your expectations. We grew 10x in the span of one year, so what was expected when you first started probably changed considerably over that time period. There are many positives to change, but it can also be messy. As a leadership team, we strive to make the best decisions we can with the information we have at hand. We understand that this kind of dynamic, hyper-scale environment isn’t right for everyone and we’re continuously working to improve our processes so that everyone feels they can have an impact. I’m really proud of how far the Sales team has come and the fact that they continue to overachieve despite a global economic downturn is a testament to the strength of our product and growth trajectory. I’m optimistic about Remote’s future and our ability to provide unparalleled service to companies with distributed workforces as we continue to grow our global footprint. Chris, CRO

Pros

* Great values and mission statement from early on * Culture of documentation that actually works and provides great value for new joiners and old time Remoters * No bullshit PTO policies and micro management * The async work structure is chaotic but manageable in the long run (even better if teams are better distributed across timezones instead of being EU centric)

Cons

On engineering, the career growth is very unclear: There's a lot of space for you want to jump on the management track, but for technical growth the organization doesn't know what to do: employees get the feedback that need to navigate that on their own with other ICs instead of having a Manager working along with you on your career. Employees are completely responsible for creating an environment for career growth inside the company's expansion and unconnected teams. Unlimited PTO is used as a panacea that would solve as issues, but taking one week off from work won't solve any structural issues because managers won't act on it magically. Sometimes the hiring pipeline is used in the same way - having more employees would help on a few workload issues but it doesn't fix things magically. Surveys and feedback forms showed very little effect on real changes over 2022, with a lot of verticals reporting the exact same issues - plans and goals were mentioned to be in the works, but there's minimal visibility on this for the rest of the company. Local employment laws expertise is uneven across the company: In a few countries, employees need to explain (more than once) how things work on their country, instead of People/Payroll teams being experts on the subject (which would be expected for a company that is supposed to deal with this). On a couple of situations, action was taken only after external employees/customers raised those issues, even though internal employees had more than enough feedback about health insurance providers and other local benefits.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It’s good to hear you appreciated our values, mission, and culture of documentation. Those are all really important here at Remote. We hear your points about career growth, communication, and knowledge-sharing — and agree those are areas where we can do better. We always take feedback seriously, including this, so we appreciate it.
