Ask HN: Best remote only company to work for?

[nandaja]

I know there are quite a lot companies remote working possibilities. I was curious about the work culture in most of these companies. Any company doing this particularly well? Which and Why?

[oldsj]

Ad Hoc - https://adhoc.team is pretty great. No whiteboard, homework based interview process, unlimited vacation, plus you get to work on things that matter to a lot of Americans like healthcare.

[mothsonasloth]

Not technically remote, you must be a US citizen.

Which is half the problem I have searching for remote jobs whilst living in Europe

Looks neat! Very refreshing outlook and process. We need more of you!

What’s the health insurance subsidy for dependents about?

I’m biased, but Basecamp is an absolute joy to work for.

[warriv93]

Hi t3rabytes, I think Basecamps values are pretty cool!

How would I go about applying for a job? I am a full stack web developer.

[t3rabytes]

Hey! Sorry, for the late response, didn't see this until now. We don't have any positions open right now, but when we do, they get posted to https://basecamp.com/about/jobs. Sorry about that!

This isn't directly answering your questions, but RemoteOnly [1] is quite a good list of companies with carrying levels of remote work. While this doesn't answer how their cultures are, it can be a starting point for companies to look at.

Red Hat. Been an absolute joy so far. Working on the stuff I like, talking and writing about it... and great colleagues!

[person_of_color]

Are they hiring?

[gbraad]

Always... redhat.com/jobs

Adplexity - free hardware, high salary, work from anywhere, free events etc....

Is finding the hiring page part of the technical interview?

[BugsJustFindMe]

If you can live with yourself working for an adtech company.

[choot]

It's not an ad tech company. It's an anti adtech company. Long term goal is to kill Google Ads and other ad companies by outing competitors ad campaign, turning advertising useless.

This is achieved through lessening information asymmetry.

Most people I know would say CrowdStrike should be on that list.

If I'd apply somewhere, my go to would be Doist, Basecamp, or Automattic. Subject to change, though.

[swaggyBoatswain]

Just met with a lot of the Automattic devs last week, their company culture is interesting.

Each team division has a different theme. And subthemes from parent themes. Example, hogwarts/harry potter for their entire mobile dev team (40+ people). Maybe this is common practice for remote only companies, I am not sure though.

I heard a lot of good things about gitlab

Working for creators of Bugfender, Mobile Jazz has been a great delight so far (https://mobilejazz.com). Fully remote, flexible working hours, bonus programs, company retreats...
