How Remote Work Should Be

Pros

I have a lot of friends who work for other remote companies, and hearing their stories makes me appreciate working at Soflyy even more. The purpose of this company is to make money. They've chosen to do that by building good products and treating people right, both their customers and their employees. There are no benefits in the traditional sense. There's no HR. There are no contracts. There is no Slack channel for memes and cat pics. There are no "optional" social Zoom calls. In fact, there aren't really any calls. Or meetings. Or emails. The cruft has been stripped away. There is zero bureaucracy. You have a set of tasks with clear priorities. You show up and you do it, and then you clock out and get on with your life. If you just want to show up and collect a paycheck, there's room for that here. If you want to get involved and build something, there's room for that here too. Most of all, Soflyy provides flexibility. You can work when you want and where you want. The company is truly async, you will never receive a notification.

Cons

You will produce things that will end up in the garbage can. It can be demoralizing, but it's a side effect of a company that gives a lot of freedom to execute on a project and has high standards. If you need your workplace to provide friends and social interactions, you will not find that here. If you need your workplace to have some sort of political or social mission, making the world a better place, you will not find that here. If you need a lot of handholding and want frequent meetings/calls/help, you will not find that here.

Pros

- You can work the hours and days you want to - Take off whenever you want - No hand holding, no meetings - Learn a lot on your own

Cons

- Can be difficult when starting out - Truly remote (no mandatory zoom meetings, no constant chatting, no meetups). But to me this is a plus - Pay could be higher

Pros

I worked at a lot of companies that claim to do agile but actually do a convoluted waterfall with agile terms sprinkled in. This can cause a lot of stress. At Soflyy, no one claims we do agile, but as long as you are good at what you do, you have the freedom to find the best solutions without a lot of hand-holding or pressure. It's a great work environment if you like challenges. I love that the management invests in all the tools you need to do your job, and provides access to industry conferences like WordCamp. It's a great opportunity to connect with the team and other WordPress developers.

Cons

It can get lonely at times, but I think that is true for most remote jobs.
