Pros

You get paid but at what cost...

Cons

1. Sales leadership make working here very difficult, moving SDRs around teams and regions with no regard or care for the SDRs themselves. 2. Mass hire and fire culture - long and sustainable tenures are not considered important. Long probations and fixed-term contract hires are also very common. 3. Culture of fear: employees closely observed at work events "to check who we still want in the company and who doesn't belong here". 4. Work from anywhere has been reduced to: work from anywhere for max. 90 days per year, provided that you've been at Remote for at least 6 months and IF your manager approves.

Pros

- Some really exceptional people - Async work - Good salary - Lots of autonomy

Cons

- Too much indifference all over the place - The culture disappeared at some point, probably due to hypergrowth - Some people are slacking massively. Having to depend on those people is a pure nightmare - More often than not, async is misused as no-sync - Lots of miscommunication related to Performance Reviews, e.g. how are employees rated and how does that map to promotion and salary increase

What a mess

Pros

Some benefits are a nice touch.

Cons

- Disorganised sales department. Communication from leadership is scattered and poorly executed. - Constant changes in teams and job descriptions that heavily affect people's ability to do their work and causes department-wide stress and confusion. Within weeks of your being hired at Remote, your role may be eliminated but then 2-3 weeks after that, Remote decide they need the role after all. And then again a few weeks later the role is again eliminated. - Sales always comes with a level of stress, but here people fear for their jobs each and every day. It has a terrible effect on the culture. - Async work culture results in managers constantly planning meetings outside of core work hours - High attrition: Many people leave within 6 months of joining Remote.
