The place I wanted to work at!

Pros

True open source mentality (most of the work is contributed upstream), fully remote and async, very high quality team -- and nice people!

Cons

Achieving what is expected can be challenging, especially at the beginning while learning everything, so it's better to have in mind that it will be a significant effort. It's possible to get to a good pace though - most people who pass the trial period end up staying for a very long time.

Remote work done wrong

Pros

Normally remote work is quite nice and here the nicest part of the job is being able to work remote.

Cons

- Absolute worst onboarding process I have ever experienced. There is some information written down, but generally there is little to know help and you are expected to figure everything out by yourself. - Presents itself as a company, but really it is more a loose collection of freelancers. Work is paid hourly and as with many freelance jobs they often try to squeeze you so they have to pay as little as possible. Meaning you don't get paid for a significant amount of hours worked. - Poor communication within the company, there are handbooks etc. but they don't contain key information or are out of date and a lot of the time most coworkers are hard to reach and can take days to reply to basic stuff. - Management is largely off doing it's own stuff sometimes going away for months and is very quick to judge and very slow to help. - Turnover is incredibly high, I'd be surprised if more than 10% of employees make it past their first year. This leads to very little camaraderie within the company and a lack of knowledge about the codebase, since everyone is leaving all the time.
