Pros

- I'm surrounded by highly intentional, motivated, experienced folks, but nobody has a big ego about it. - I'm given plenty of autonomy for deep focus time without being slowed down by too many processes or meetings. - We're each encouraged to use AI tools in whatever way works best for us, which is empowering and allows for a lot of experimentation. - The company and culture are healthy.

Cons

- As a fully-remote company across many time zones, it can sometimes be isolating.

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.
