Pros
1. Everything I envisioned from a remote role (flexibility/balance) has been realized at Quince. I am challenged, supported, work independently and expectations are communicated clearly. 2. While still plenty of startup challenges to tackle, Quince is unlike other startups I have worked for. While many young companies are too reactionary and constantly operating with their hair on fire, leadership here is focused, strategic and proactive. 3. In terms of my department specifically, I have never worked with a more supportive and knowledgeable group. I chose this offer over others because of my opportunity to learn...I made the right decision.
Cons
1. Communication is a con everywhere I have worked and honestly, Quince is nowhere near the worst. For a company primarily remote-based, there is a good flow of information without the pressure to respond immediately. Yes, we could be better about knowing who to inform and when but no one is intentionally keeping secrets. 2. Culture is more difficult to foster without 3-dimensional interaction (which is non-existent) but you have to make some sacrifices to have the flexibility/balance of remote work. Besides, this is how the world interacts now anyway.
