Pros

The people are awesome. The organization's values are intertwined with the work in such a way that the importance of everything is preserved. Again, the product will be something special and be done in such a way that I have yet to witness in any other place I've worked. Lastly, it's remote and you save on gas haha.

Cons

None so far but I imagine there exists certain bottlenecks in terms of the nature of working remotely versus being in close physical proximity (which Status addresses by meeting up yearly to coordinate efforts and realign high-level objectives).

Pros

The hiring process is well-structured, with interviewers being helpful, communicative, and focused on assessing real skills rather than just theoretical knowledge. Though a bit lengthy.

Cons

High independence can be challenging, but IFT has a strong process and structure for fully remote work

Pleased to hear you had a positive interview experience- I wonder how many rounds you completed? We aim for 3-5 stage processes across our teams. This is optimal for assessing our candidates fairly and effectively. It also gives you a good chance to familiarise yourself with the team, organisation/culture to see if it will be a good fit for you.

Pros

Interview process - You get a very good idea of the kind of work you'll be doing - Interviews focus on the job responsibilities and problem solving specific to the role Company: - Exciting work. Interesting problems - Actually believes in its principles and puts them into practice - Not trying to own the world economy like some sort of super villain - Seems to do a good job at organizing the chaos of remote async-first working across timezones, cultures, etc. Understands that there are tradeoffs in balancing structure and flexibility

Cons

Interview: - Took a significant amount of time and effort for the take-home assignment - Tech curve for understanding and getting to the problem is significant Company: - Typical remote async work cons I suppose: can be overwhelming and seem chaotic, looser structure in terms of process, fast-paced and ever-changing, can be daunting because of the unknowns that come with the tech space, etc - The organizational structure is hard to follow and has changed a lot recently. Status, IFT (Institute of Free Technology), Logos, Nomos, etc.
