RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Automattic full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
- Automattic has developed a highly focused and extensive hiring process in which applicants are carefully considered and evaluated. In the end, when making it passed the initial interview/trial stages and are brought on full-time, you will be working alongside with only the most diverse, open-minded, intelligent, and high-performing individuals there are. Never have I experienced such a positive and welcoming work environment.
- You will be working with WordPress, the leading CMS, now currently powering 30% of the web. No other CMS comes even close to this number (and aren't even in the double digits).
- Colleagues truly look out for each other regardless of status.
- Almost all conversations/discussions regarding the company, core work, projects, and even colleagues are transparent. Anyone can jump into a conversation at any time.
- After coming on board, the company will pay for your home office setup (i.e. new monitor, computer, desk etc.)
- Company travel is paid for.
- Competitive salary & benefits.Cons
- Not so much a con, but rather a word of caution: remote work is not for everyone. You really need to be a self-disciplined and highly focused individual to succeed in a company like this.

Pros
Every year the entire company flies out to a Grand Meetup for a week, all expenses paid, as well as team meet up. The people are friendly and they care a lot about their employees welfare. Once inside you can see pretty much everything, very transparent and open.
Cons
it can be a difficult job, not everybody is cut out for remote work, and there aren't many junior roles
