Pros

Close.io is a value-driven product and organization. People here are humble, down to earth, and strive for excellence. No bureaucracy or drama here - it's all about focusing on what truly matters. We live to help salespeople and we believe in the power of inside sales teams to help businesses grow and thrive.

Cons

Not cons -- all I'm saying is that we really expect every individual to step up, and we really trust in everyone to be self-sufficient. You will learn how to rely on yourself, your abilities, and your own convictions, rather than trying to do what everyone else is doing. Don't expect a rigid set of rules for you to "win" the game - you are here to write the rules of the game! You must be confident, while backing up your input with data. Be humble, because teammates *will* question or challenge your viewpoints. Be ready for a startup that recognizes all the areas it needs to work on, but will not work at them all at once because we must ruthlessly prioritize. On top of that, remote work requires a lot of self-awareness and maturity, as well as the initiative to proactively and independently create the conditions of your success. Management and the team as a whole is very supportive with time and resources for you, but you must step up and ask for it!

Pros

- Amazing culture and people. - The company is stable, bootstrapped and profitable but all 3 founders are still here and engaged. Senior leadership beside founders is also good and together they make decisions that make sense. - Actually good work/life balance. Company gets stuff done and you'll grow without blowing up your personal life.

Cons

- Being pure remote is tough getting started anywhere, but due to everyone being so smart and well-rounded and focus on async remote, it felt especially intimidating at first coming into this environment. But if you do your best it all falls away.

Thank you so much for sharing! If you're new to a fully remote, async team, it can certainly feel challenging. But we're so happy to hear things became more comfortable as you settled in. Our team is committed to making onboarding feel welcoming and supportive so your feedback really helps us continue improving 🙏🏼

Pros

- Great product that customers love - Wonderful culture - thoughtful, low ego, autonomous and flexible - Great and talented people - people are smart, eager to help, a mix of tenured people with lots of historical context and newer people brining fresh perspectives and ideas.

Cons

Not really a con, but sometimes being fully remote can make building connections with people outside of your immediate bubble a bit hard. But because Close has been remote for so long (well before Covid) it has done a really good job of making remote work easier - and most people here really love it.
