Pros

One of the best organisations I worked for, I simply loved working for 10up. Not many companies does remote, distributed working right - 10up is one of them. - Top notch people and great culture - way beyond the usual hype things, genuine relationships - Interesting, often unique problems to solve - not many people get to solve these kinds of problems at scale - Brands and clients which will look good on portfolio - - Unique perks and great team meetups - Huge flexibility due to being remote - Very good learning opportunities - Just enough process and red tape - Work-life balance is not just a job ad buzzword - I have a family and could make it work even with a huge time zone difference - 10up genuinely cares about their employees

Cons

Way less Cons than Pros - and I know they are actively working to improve on these: - Design collaboration and communication is challenging when doing design in a remote setting - Not enough cross-functional collaboration, or design practices which are more in line with current realities outside the WP community - (Over)reliance on Wordpress centric solutions and thinking

Pros

Fully remote & usually flexible schedules given an international team. Most team members are strong and experienced. If you know how to clock in & clock out and turn of your brain to the social and political aspects of work, you can get an ok pay check here.

Cons

Since the private equity acquisition and merger with “Fueled” (10up will no longer have its name and some point and just be a part of “Fueled”), post job salaries have gone down $10k. 10% of the company was laid off. Benefits have gotten worse, and policies more unclear. What is clear is the private equity “squeeze” to get as much productivity from individuals as possible while removing support structures, leadership, benefits, and perks. Culture is disjointed, leadership is not on the same page with one another, and they are out of touch with the wider team and “little people” The team is not diverse. I have never interacted with a black employee. Because they hire people in other countries (India, Africa, Europe) they call that diversity. Few women in leadership actually making decisions
