Pros

Remote office Nice equipment Learning stipend

Cons

No training. The training you do receive is all self taught. You read most of it and there are huge chunks of context missing from it. You’re told to not ask questions because they expect you to research through their dozens of slack channels or endless Notion platform for key words to find what you need to know. Yet everything is outdated and because things change on the fly, it’s rarely accurate. Ramp up (onboarding) period is supposed to be 90 days, but you’re given less than 14 working days before they expect you to take on projects and work with clients and know everything. You’re left to your own devices. They say you have a flexible schedule and you make your own hours. But I’ve experienced 12hour days off the bat, people notifying they are going on PTO but that they’ll be checking in a few times a day, or they’ll be responding while they are out. There is no work life balance. Benefits are not aligned with the industry and are very expensive with not the best coverage. Don’t express at anytime that you’re overwhelmed or lost and need guidance because all you’ll get is a “yeah that’s how we all feel. It’s the job. It’s what we signed up for. But it’s a great company so we deal with it.”

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you value working remotely, the equipment provided, and the opportunity to use a learning stipend. We also hear the concerns you raise around onboarding, training, workload, and benefits. At Remote, we want every new joiner to feel set up for success, so we’re continuing to invest in improving our onboarding process and making information easier to access and up to date. We take work–life balance seriously, and the situations you describe are not the norm here. Flexibility is meant to support balance, not lead to long hours or blurred boundaries. We know feedback like this comes from wanting the company to do better, and we encourage anyone who feels overwhelmed or under-supported to raise it with their manager or our People team so we can address it directly.

Pros

**Please note that this review only speaks to the recruitment process. The recruitment and hiring process at Remote has been seamless, engaging, and transparent. It is refreshing to not be dragged through weeks or months of interviews, and to be given feedback along the way. As a full-time active job seeker, knowing where my application stood at all points in time with Remote made me much more enthusiastic about the process itself. And even when a small hiccup of uncertainty arose, the transparency allowed me to make a more informed decision about continuing with my application. I truly felt like this recruitment experience was what it should be: both the company interviewing me, and me interviewing the company. This hiring process has set an exceptionally high standard for me going forward!

Cons

The general compensation formula for a role was touched on briefly prior to an offer being made, but it would be helpful to have an approximate range on hand of what is being offered for the role when in the early stages of interviews.
