Pros
- Small, intelligent, driven team. - Bootstrapped and profitable so we don't have to worry about mass layoffs - Kind and inspirational leadership who foster a culture of psychological safety. There are no silly questions. - Company retreats twice a year. We went to Japan in May 2023 - Trust and autonomy to own your part of the business
Cons
- Remote work isn't for everyone. We have meetings and processes in place to ensure the team is connecting but I personally struggle with the "isolation" aspect of remote work. So I need to make sure I am taking responsibility for that and reaching out to team members more often than some to connect. - Trust and autonomy are great, but it also means you must be a self-starter and own your outcomes. While most people think they want this, it isn't for everyone. Not everyone thrives with autonomy as someone people like clear direction on tasks. At Canny you design and execute your own work.
