Pros

A progressive fast moving web analytics start up that treats it's employees right. Fantastic growth potential. One of the first things I noticed when starting at Hotjar is how challenged I felt by the collective intelligence and vision of my colleagues. This is an elite group of employees and it shows in their hiring process. Personal freedom is a big plus. The flexible work schedule and ability to work from anywhere makes this role even more attractive. Some colleagues have embraced their inner "digital nomad" and move around the globe regularly just because they can. Perks include a personal development/training budget, a sizable home office budget, quarterly team meet ups in remote locations, company wide meet ups in remote locations (our last two were in Park City and Malta

Cons

Hotjar is still a young company and depending on where you reside, you may need to be open to working as a contractor until they are set up in your part of the world. However they are working on improving this.

Pros

A transparent organization: teams are involved in the decision-making process for all initiatives even the most strategic ones. Feedback is shared on a consistent basis in a constructive way across and within teams. A fully remote organization that lets you manage your workload as you need, gives you a lot of flexibility, and trusts its employees - no micro management!

Cons

An organization that is growing fast and constantly innovating which in turn moves too quickly at times, this can create a bit of chaos or confusion internally. But these are the typical growing pains of a successful scale-up organization.

Pros

used to have amazing perks, health care benefits, transparent company culture, high morale, worker-centered work place, remote

Cons

new leadership with the acquisition of Contentsquare and Heap is doing away with the once awesome culture, introducing rounds of layoffs and cutting benefits of Hotjar employees by 15k while pretending that it's not happening, cold, vapid culture, fixated on the bottom line with a money-first approach, giving people more responsibility with no pay increase, stalling merit-based pay increases, stifling the atmosphere of open dialogue
