Pros

I've worked for some great companies in the UK, mostly startups that are stable and well established. During the pandemic and while working form home I decided I wanted a change and have been nothing but impressed with the company culture. They really understand remote first and people first.

Cons

As a startup(ish) there are occasional days of lots of things happening at once, and often I need to use my initiative rather than be told what to do. Nothing I wouldn't expect from a startup and not even sure I'd personally consider it a con.

Pros

Frontastic is a remote native company, which really accommodates my needs as someone who isn’t able bodied, because I don’t need to commute to an office. Diversity isn’t just a catch phrase here - we are distributed all over EMEA and APAC, so when we meet in person once a year for our annual retreat we can have genuine Italian, Indian and Lithuanian cuisine all in just one day! If you like you can have deep talks with real friends here, not “just small talks with colleagues”. Also we are really fast and flexible when it comes to role changes or increasing/decreasing your working hours as well as giving you freedom on when and how to spend them. You get a company credit card, an allowance on education and a co-working space etc. We don’t sit in internal meetings all day but instead we have topic themed, 10 minute long meetings from 11-12 every day, which is really efficient and gives you more time for focused work to actually get things done.

Cons

As a startup there are still some things we are figuring out, so you need to think on your own when you face problems, but people are super helpful with solving them :) Also that means you have independent thinkers as your colleagues, so to me it is actually a pro... Maybe working remote might be a con to some, you have to like working like that. Our yearly retreats are totally making this up for me though and we are constantly improving our internal events to keep us all connected :)

Pros

Frontastic is a really great place to work. It's one of the few places where I've worked where everyone truly lives the company values, and the Leadership team strive to be roles models in doing this. There's an amazing company culture, where everyone is free to be themselves and where everyone is trusted and valued. The team is awesome and we really have fun together, even though we're 100% remote. Plus, you can work around your life.

Cons

As with all remote roles, it can get a bit lonely. But, the team is amazing and are always available just to have a chat when it starts to feel that way.
