Pluspunten

Nothing you can't get at another company, if you're a remote employee.

Minpunten

This company can lead the list of organisations that treat their remote employees poorly, while sharing pictures of gender neutral bathrooms on social media. Remote employees, specifically in India, are simply around for the pretty diversity numbers they want to have - and diversity initiatives are focussed around hiring not around retention or support. It's not uncommon for remote employees in India to stay up till 2.00 a.m or 3.00 a.m so they can get onboarded by their American, white peers in the US during their workday. No support for remote employees or career growth opportunities. Constantly changing priorities and constantly changing reorganisation, with little accountability on the American management. No opportunities for remote employees to build skills.

Pluspunten

* Supportive and collaborative environment * Few big egos, at every level people are supportive/collaborative (see point 1) * International perspective * Developer/open source community focused * Huge documentation focus because of the multiple time zones, which helps with good cross-team communication * Well organized HR and training so that onboarding is smooth * Good benefits, volunteer time off, PTO, relaxed atmosphere with professionalism * Well-established business with clear goals

Minpunten

* Can be difficult to coordinate meetings across time zones (on the positive, this leads to fewer meetings and better documentation/written communication!) * Lots of moving parts, can be hard to see across whole company

Pluspunten

Some of the smartest people I've ever worked with as colleagues. Really interesting technology and problem space. Remote work and ownership culture are highlights.

Minpunten

CEO micromanages, doesn't delegate authority, and rarely celebrates success. He is not an inspiring leader to work for. Planning procedures do not allow resources to be managed for Automotive, resulting in repeated misses on goals and a lot of reactive work.
