      Hire and fire mentality, awful management, treat employees like 'just another number'

      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

      Super kind, talented people work here Interesting product with a lot of opportunities to build really interesting things In some markets the pay is excellent

      Cons

      Whatever previous culture existed has completely disappeared, humanity and empathy from leadership has left the building. People seem to be seen as easily replaceable. The company is not for everyone. If you like hustle culture and don't mind working on several things at the same time, you'll like it.

      We appreciate you sharing this feedback. It is encouraging to hear that the people and the product stood out to you, and that compensation has been strong in some markets. We are glad those parts of the experience resonated. At the same time, we are sorry to hear that the culture has felt like it shifted in a negative direction, and that leadership has come across as lacking empathy or treating people as replaceable. That is serious feedback, and it is not what we want anyone to feel while working here. We also hear your point that the environment can feel intense, with a lot happening at once, and that this style of work will not be the right fit for everyone. Thank you again for taking the time to share your perspective.

      This Environment Breaks People Quietly

      Pros

      - Fully remote setup with great office gear - Great benefits if you live in a 2nd/3rd world country - extremely talented/knowledeable colleagues

      Cons

      This company caused long-term professional and emotional damage that took significant time to recover from. The environment is chaotic, reactive, and deeply destabilising. Roles are vague, expectations shift constantly, and success criteria are rarely clear. You are expected to absorb uncertainty, conflicting priorities, and emotional strain as part of the job, with little protection or guidance. When systems fail, employees are left exposed. Despite heavy internal messaging around values, care, and psychological safety, the lived experience does not match the narrative. Concerns are acknowledged verbally but rarely addressed in any meaningful way. The burden of “coping” is placed squarely on employees, while leadership avoids real accountability. There is a persistent sense of walking on unstable ground. You are required to perform at a high level while navigating ambiguity, internal politics, and unspoken expectations. Over time, this erodes confidence, mental wellbeing, and trust in leadership. By the time many people leave, they are exhausted, disillusioned, and questioning their own competence, despite the fact that the environment is the real issue. This is not a supportive workplace. It is an emotionally demanding, poorly structured organisation that relies heavily on people over-functioning to compensate for systemic failures. Leadership appears more invested in broadcasting their own brilliance than in building a stable, healthy organisation. The contrast between external posturing and internal dysfunction is impossible to ignore. I would strongly caution anyone considering this company to look beyond the branding and ask very direct questions about role stability, decision-making, and how employee concerns are actually handled in practice.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We appreciate you highlighting the flexibility of our fully remote model, the home office equipment provided to employees, and the many talented colleagues who make up our global team. Remote is a fast-growing startup that is still less than a decade old, and we are building the company as we scale it globally. In our handbook and hiring process, we are clear that working in this environment involves ambiguity and constant change as we continue shaping the organization while it grows. This kind of environment isn’t the right fit for everyone. The concerns you raised around role clarity, expectations, and how feedback is handled are important feedback for us. As we continue to grow, we’re investing in clearer job architecture, stronger onboarding, and additional manager enablement to help teams better understand priorities, expectations, and paths for growth. Building a global company at this stage requires constant iteration, and feedback like yours helps us identify where we need to improve. We appreciate you sharing your experience and wish you the best in your next chapter.
