Automattic Reviews

Pros

Inclusive. Diverse. They take care of their employees. They communicate a lot and help you improve your skills.

Cons

I have not identified any cons

Pros

Automattic treats their employees very well. They offer a great salary, flexible schedule, and good benefits. The work culture is the best I’ve ever experienced. Everyone is always willing to help out and there is a real sense of companionship and team work throughout the divisions.

Cons

The company is growing quickly and the jobs are constantly changing. Working in Happiness has been difficult in the past year due increased volume and lots of new product rollouts which has resulted in a lot of bugs. Being in the frontlines and dealing with the increased volume and working through follow ups and bug reporting has lead to some extremely long days. There’s also quite a disconnect between the different departments which makes support roles frustrating and difficult. Also opportunities for advancement are not clearly defined in some roles though I know this is being worked on.

Pros

Company Culture provides a friendly and professional environment. Overall great place to work with. HR reps are super friendly and very supportive. Lots of interesting things being worked on. Supportive time off policy and good perks.

Cons

There some people with huge egos.

Pros

Cons

great team, felt very supported

Pros

Culture of mutual support, friendly teammates and leads, great degree of autonomy

Cons

Constant pressure to learn more because everyone is so smart, hard to set work-life boundaries because there is always something going on online

Pros

Great hiring experience that includes small code assignment and a trial project. Trial project gives you a great overview what your future work will be and how the company works. The company is distributed, everyone works from their home / coworking place and have similar conditions, so you never feel excluded.

Cons

The amount of information can be very overwhelming and things can sometimes become chaotic.

Pros

Remote-first; very good internal communication and documentation that supports asynchronous working

Cons

Some toxic aspects to the culture

Pros

Great benefits, amazing colleagues, fully remote / distributed

Cons

none that i can thing of

Pros

Subsidies for office furniture, financial support for career development.

Cons

CEO runs a mostly benevolent dictatorship, with no commitment to employee happiness. HR is dead set against raises or promotions. Long term goal is likely to offshore all engineering.
