Work to live, not live to work
Pros
Frontastic is a remote native company, which really accommodates my needs as someone who isn’t able bodied, because I don’t need to commute to an office. Diversity isn’t just a catch phrase here - we are distributed all over EMEA and APAC, so when we meet in person once a year for our annual retreat we can have genuine Italian, Indian and Lithuanian cuisine all in just one day! If you like you can have deep talks with real friends here, not “just small talks with colleagues”. Also we are really fast and flexible when it comes to role changes or increasing/decreasing your working hours as well as giving you freedom on when and how to spend them. You get a company credit card, an allowance on education and a co-working space etc. We don’t sit in internal meetings all day but instead we have topic themed, 10 minute long meetings from 11-12 every day, which is really efficient and gives you more time for focused work to actually get things done.
Cons
As a startup there are still some things we are figuring out, so you need to think on your own when you face problems, but people are super helpful with solving them :) Also that means you have independent thinkers as your colleagues, so to me it is actually a pro... Maybe working remote might be a con to some, you have to like working like that. Our yearly retreats are totally making this up for me though and we are constantly improving our internal events to keep us all connected :)
