RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Automattic full-time
Pros
I am new to the company and already love the culture. You can tell before day 1 that the company truly cares about the employees. Everyone was helpful during a very well structured and educational onboarding process that helps new employees get oriented and understand the company and sets people up for success.
Cons
There are no cons that I can speak of. As a distributed company it can be a bit challenging to work remote at times but the company goes out of its way to address this by putting a focus on communication and having meetups to meet face to face.

Pros
The people are smart, engaged in their jobs, and eager to learn and share knowledge. Everyone supports and encourages each other. Working at home and making your own hours is invaluable to me; and the benefits are great. The job is interesting and you are constantly learning. The hiring process is intense, but the atmosphere is casual and supportive.
Cons
None, unless you don't handle change well, because there is always something new and the pace is fast.
