Pros

If you want to work on some really interesting problems you wouldn't normally encounter that also have the potential to leave a big lasting impact then this is definitely a good place to be. There are some really interesting problems to solve at this stage of the company and all the work we're doing has huge impacts on the product and will continue to have an impact well into the life of the company. Everyone is affable and trying to pull each other up, which is a great environment to be in. It feels truly collaborative here. It's fully remote yet I don't feel a distance to my team at all with all the emphasis put on culture and team building. That said, I am excited at the prospect of more company-sponsored in-person work weeks where the globally spread team gets together to work side-by-side. Management is very receptive and responsive to feedback when it comes to company culture and the product.

Cons

Being remote and spread around the globe can mean there are often tons of video meetings in blocks, which can certainly feel like a drain on your own velocity. And can be mentally draining depending on the kind of person you are. The block of meetings can potentially take place at fairly awkward times depending on your timezone.

Pros

Everyone on the team is extremely talented, motivated, and are great communicators. The work is really engaging and interesting You have immediate ownership of products and features The team trusts your judgment and decision making Remote culture, with a defined structure Super transparent about company policies and roadmaps Moves super fast

Cons

Small startup so benefits aren't available yet Throw you immediately into owning huge projects (which can be good, but definitely overwhelming)

Pros

- This is the async and remote-first company that empowers ownership and trust. - No one expects me to respond within a minute on Slack, and the number of meetings is minimal. - I see and have an impact on things we build. - There are no micromanagement or control freaks managers. - People are the core of Almanac. Everyone is extremely friendly and excited about what they do - this creates a scarce and cool place to grow personally and as a developer. - Sharing knowledge is deeply rooted in our engineering culture. - Although this is a young startup, it's very well managed and organized. Management communicates often what's the company's status, what we aim for, and why.

Cons

- The company is growing and changing rapidly, so it might be hard to get used to the status quo.
