Pros
Our company is completely distributed allowing the team to work from anywhere which creates diversity as the team is not restricted to one geographical location. The benefits are good, and there is unlimited PTO that you can actually use! Working at Serverless in the startup stage makes me feel like I am an important member of a small team. The way one approaches and solves problems is definitely noticed. I am encouraged to be a risk-taker. This is a team that is high on ideas and welcomes all kinds of perspective. Personally, this leads me to explore more and ultimately allows me to be original. This is the approach of everyone around, especially the founder who welcomes different perspectives, which helps me to see the other side of the coin and approach things in an unusual way. It is exciting sharing in the birth, growth, and success of Serverless.
Cons
In the same way problem-solving gets noticed, so do mistakes, which may not be a bad thing because this means striving for perfection…and that is never a bad thing! People may struggle hearing constructive feedback. The workload is heavy: expect to work long hours. Startups must capitalize on trends quickly, and early growth is vital. Because we have a global team, employees work around the clock to make this happen, so stress and burnout is possible if you don't set a good work-life balance from the beginning.
