Toggl Backend Programmer reviews

I've been working at Toggl for over a year and I can attest an open and transparent culture that fosters a good working environment. There have been many actions towards creating a great place to work such as the recent initiative to be focused on results meaning that we're quite flexible to arrange our working hours as long as objectives are met. The recruiting procedure is known before hand and you are clearly presented with all the steps that are needed to arrive to a satisfactory result. Also, when someone is let go, the reasons for that are made public with the person involved being able to provide their feedback as well. There's no sugarcoating to the fact that sometimes a person has to be let go because their performance is not the expected or because their position has been made redundant due to the internal organization changes or other factors.

Being a remote first company they give you a lot of freedom about how to manage your work and time. But that doesn't mean you are on your own, every piece of code is reviewed by your peers (and you review theirs as well even if it's your first week). Also you will always find someone to answer your questions and help you when you are stuck... The expectations are high and be prepare to learn a lot along the way, even if it's a small company the peoples here are brillant and take pride in what they do. Every opinion matters and you are encouraged to speak up about anything that seems important to you (programming, organization...). Also there are regular meetups around the world (about 4 or 5 every years) where you can meet your peers and bound, be prepare to travel...
