Benefits and perspective from a fully remote start-up of 9 years
Pros
- Fully bootstrapped and profitable since day 1 means there has never been a pressure to scale rapidly at breakneck speeds - Small team (< 10) means everyone is trusted to do the work and responsible for their own KPIs - Great perks, such as top of market salaries, unlimited vacations (that are actually encouraged), full insurance coverages, 401(k) match, equity, profit share, remote office stipend - 100% remote since the company was founded in 2014; work from home or a co-working space of your choosing - Amazing work/life balance; as long as the quarterly goals are met, you control your time - Having a steady, profitable product puts us ahead of most start-ups, and on the Inc. 5000 as 116th fastest growth company, and 9th fastest in software vertical
Cons
- Not a recognizable brand name, means we have to work harder to hire great talent with great compensation and fun projects
