Pros

The beauty of working at Automattic is that you are part of a worldwide team of people who all bring their expertise, knowledge and skills to the table. You feel very connected, even though you can work from anywhere you wish. They help you set up a home office and invest in you as a person holistically. Automattic provides you with access to professional development and learning opportunities, health gear, wellness benefits and a competitive remuneration package. Automattic aims to make the web a better place and contributes 5% of their resources to the opensource WordPress project. The creed of the company really resonates with me and it is awesome to be part of a company that is dreaming big and care about their employees.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that you need to work around employees in different time zones.

Pros

Everyone is so supportive and helpful while you're getting started and learning the ropes. Expectations for your role are clearly laid out and team leads are helpful with giving honest and constructive feedback to help you do your best. I've found my team is always on hand to provide support, so it never feels as though I'm left alone with any issues. Despite being fully remote, there's always someone available if you need them, from immediate teammates to HR or management. Great efforts are made to ensure you're well supported in the remote role, including funds for coworking if you need more social interactions. Overall I'm thrilled with the job, I've already learned so much, yet still have so much room for career growth.

Cons

Only downside is the long application process. It can be a bit stressful if you're not used to more technical applications with tests of your skills.

> Technology is so out of date. I would disagree strongly with that assessment. Can you be more specific?
