Pros

1) Paid challenge which shows upfront that Status values its future employers' time. 2) Fair package offered. Fast and smooth hiring process. 3) No bureaucracy at all in any part of the hiring and onboarding. 4) Well organised onboarding. 5) Buddy program. 6) Interview "down to earth", which means, they doesn't want to check if you can fix a rocket science problem in a white board, but rather see if you'd be willing to do so if needed. They actually hire people, and then skills.

Cons

Nothing need to be changed at all.

Pros

The hiring process is well-structured, with interviewers being helpful, communicative, and focused on assessing real skills rather than just theoretical knowledge. Though a bit lengthy.

Cons

High independence can be challenging, but IFT has a strong process and structure for fully remote work

Pleased to hear you had a positive interview experience- I wonder how many rounds you completed? We aim for 3-5 stage processes across our teams. This is optimal for assessing our candidates fairly and effectively. It also gives you a good chance to familiarise yourself with the team, organisation/culture to see if it will be a good fit for you.

Pros

Interview process - You get a very good idea of the kind of work you'll be doing - Interviews focus on the job responsibilities and problem solving specific to the role Company: - Exciting work. Interesting problems - Actually believes in its principles and puts them into practice - Not trying to own the world economy like some sort of super villain - Seems to do a good job at organizing the chaos of remote async-first working across timezones, cultures, etc. Understands that there are tradeoffs in balancing structure and flexibility

Cons

Interview: - Took a significant amount of time and effort for the take-home assignment - Tech curve for understanding and getting to the problem is significant Company: - Typical remote async work cons I suppose: can be overwhelming and seem chaotic, looser structure in terms of process, fast-paced and ever-changing, can be daunting because of the unknowns that come with the tech space, etc - The organizational structure is hard to follow and has changed a lot recently. Status, IFT (Institute of Free Technology), Logos, Nomos, etc.
