Great place to work
Mar 7, 2023 - UX Design Director in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The people are so kind, respectful, and genuine. People show care for their projects and coworkers. They pay well and it’s fully remote. Your coworkers are all over the globe, which is fun, and depending on where you live this also means while your (remote) day starts early, it also ends early. They care a lot about accessibility and adherence to GDPR and other best practices. They are generous with giving opportunities to people to take on projects and get promoted. Great work life balance!
Cons
Because of the global nature of the products, there are more considerations than say a domestic startup, so projects can move slow.
