Pros

- Good pay - Some good, well-meaning managers - Diverse, interesting team members - Technology-focused

Cons

- Mostly terrible management - Senior management is poor - Burnout culture - colleagues are worked to the bone, often crying in silence (they know they will be gaslit if they raise concerns) - Gaslighting from management - Employees 'disappear' from Slack overnight (they are fired) - You feel like a disposable Slack profile who could disappear any moment

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We’re glad to hear that compensation, a technology-focused environment, and the chance to work with a diverse team (including some supportive managers) were positives in your experience. We’re very concerned by what you describe regarding management quality, burnout, and a culture where people don’t feel safe raising concerns. That is not the environment we want to create at Remote. Psychological safety, respect, and sustainable ways of working should never be compromised and we recognise the importance of leadership accountability in shaping day-to-day reality. We also understand how unsettling it can feel when team changes aren’t handled transparently or humanely. While we can’t comment on individual circumstances, we take feedback like this seriously as we reflect on how we lead, support managers, and ensure people feel heard and protected when they speak up. Thank you again for sharing—your feedback reinforces areas where we need to do better.

Pros

Multiple interviews with people having different partnership roles gives a good idea of how the communication goes internally and the overall company culture

Cons

If you're looking for a quick hire, having multiple interviews is not for you
