Poorly managed - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei ProWritingAid: Mitarbeiterbewertung

After years of being overworked, underpaid, and under-appreciated, I made the leap to go fully remote and work as a full-time contractor for ProWritingAid in 2020. It was the best decision I could've made for my career, my family, and my overall well-being. They're a genuinely amazing company to work for. They've mastered the true remote culture, with employees in multiple time zones and continents. Communication, transparency, and trust are top-tier. The flexibility allows for a fantastic work-life balance, especially when managing familial responsibilities. I haven't had a case of the "Sunday Scaries" since joining this company, which is a true testament to the type of employer they are. I couldn't recommend them more.

As a US-based employee, figuring out benefits and shifting gears with paying quarterly estimated taxes will be the biggest hurdle. I'm privileged to be covered by my spouse's health insurance, so that hasn't been an issue for me. However, with the ever-rising cost of healthcare in the US, that can be a detractor for others.

1. Autonomy - Nice mix of leaders setting OKRS and teams owning execution with various formal and informal touchpoints 2. Users first - Always a large bias to what the user (writer) would want as CEO is a writer 3. Experiment culture - It's ok to fail here and we use a solid Product Operating Model including evidence based development 4. No Asswholes - Jerks do not seem to be tolerated

1. Remote work can get quite boring - except when life is full on and this becomes a huge work life balance advantage 2. Similar to the above, limited opportunity for a cheeky Nandos on a Thursday or to chat breeze
