Pros

There's a ton...100% remote workplace. Hotjar does not care where you work. The management team realizes people work best when they are trusted, empowered and comfortable. There's also some amazing perks like 40 days of paid leave a year, a home office budget, company retreats and more. My co-workers are wicked smart and our product is amazing. It's an amazing place to work.

Cons

Because we're 100% remote it can sometimes be hard to get in contact with the person you're trying to connect with when you're trying to connect with them. They could be on the other side of the world. We've got the tools in place to facilitate this but it takes some getting used to.

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
