Pros
On my very first day, I knew exactly what was expected of me. And not only for that day, but for that week and the upcoming weeks ahead. I had assigned to-dos (we use Aha! to run the business) and was paired with a mentor. It was the most intentional, thoughtful, and productive onboarding experience I've ever had. Along the way, everyone — across all teams and all geographic locations (we are 100% remote) — was extremely welcoming and helpful. Everyone was truly excited that I had joined the company and it was clear that we were all here to build a meaningful, lasting product.
Cons
This is not really a con about the company, but more or less a personal challenge. This is my second remote organization. Everyone is in constant communication across video calls and chat, which is great. In fact, I find that I can do my best work and be more productive in a remote setting. However, I need to remind myself to get out of the house sometimes! It is very easy to grind away in your office and not be around other people for weeks at a time. It is refreshing to spend the morning working from a coffee shop or to drop in at a coworking space — I just need to remind myself of this more.
