Pros

- You can work from anywhere and work async - Unlimited vacation days - Good work from home set-up

Cons

- Leadership lacks clear goals and vision, so you might start working on a project that might be canceled at anytime - Although company values are transparency and kindness, that was not what I experienced - People that were laid off were treated really unfairly and left without a proper explanation

Pros

Remote WITHIN your country Healthcare benefit is good Lovely people are hired, but shame they then get fired for underperforming within a team with no support

Cons

Working here can feel less like joining a team and more like entering a revolving door. Hiring appears aggressive and volume driven, but terminations can be just as fast and unexpectedly handled, often with little transparency or meaningful feedback. The environment can feel transactional, very much as though employees are expendable rather than developed. There is minimal real support infrastructure. You’re expected to perform at a high level while navigating ambiguity, limited onboarding, and inconsistent leadership guidance. Instead of investing in growth, management attention often seems disproportionately focused on who is underperforming rather than celebrating or retaining top contributors. Recognition feels rare; scrutiny feels constant. Career progression pathways are unclear at best. Promotions and structured development conversations are limited, leaving many employees feeling stagnant. Compensation can lag behind market expectations, particularly given the performance pressure and revenue expectations placed on staff. The global hiring strategy may prioritize lower-cost regions, which can create an uneven sense of stability and job security across teams. It can feel less like building a strong culture and more like optimizing for cost efficiency. Perhaps most concerning is the communication style. Feedback is sometimes delivered publicly rather than privately, which can feel demoralizing and disrespectful. Psychological safety, the foundation of strong remote teams is completely absent with many people across different teams on long term mental health leave. For highly independent individuals who are comfortable with risk and minimal support, this environment may work. For those seeking mentorship, stability, fair compensation, and long-term growth, it may prove frustrating.

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience as a Business Development Representative. We are glad you valued our remote-first culture, competitive healthcare benefits, and the high caliber of colleagues we hire globally. Remote operates with a high-performance culture, which means we set ambitious goals, expect strong ownership, and rely heavily on clear documentation and async communication so teams across many countries can collaborate effectively. These principles are outlined in our public handbook and are designed to create transparency and accountability across the company. You raised concerns around support, communication, recognition, and psychological safety. These are important topics for us. As we continue scaling globally, we are investing in stronger onboarding programs, clearer career frameworks, and additional manager training to ensure teams receive the support and feedback needed to succeed in a high-performance environment. We are also continually refining how feedback and recognition are delivered across teams to reinforce a culture of respect, clarity, and growth. Building a global, remote company requires constant iteration, and feedback like yours helps inform where we focus our efforts. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you the best in your next chapter.

Pros

There's a lot to learn. And if you're lucky enough to be someone's favourite then you get a lot of opportunities to contribute to bigger projects.

Cons

The leadership for payroll are highly toxic. The vp and payroll ops director rule by fear and bullying and higher ups dont want to hear it or fix it. We are all demotivated and no one wants to speak up for fear of being targeted. Senior managers are just as bad burying their heads in the sand and pretending it isnt happening. It is a culture of fear that will leave you doubting your own ability or worse even going off sick due to the impact it has on you. All we want is to be left to do our jobs and given the tools we need to do them. Absolutely no work life balance either and they say theres lots of flexibility due to being async however the reality is if you are not at your laptop when they need you even if its out of hours then youll be penalised for it
