How large is the company you work for? In mine, I can't imagine wanting to "feel the leaders I work for and with" - the very idea of working with them feels like jumping 5 steps up and 2 steps sideways in the corporate org chart.

It was different before acquisition, back when the 90% of the company fit on one floor of an office building, and the CEO was someone you passed by regularly, and who contributed actual engineering. But company this kind and size, they don't do "all-hands" and "town squares" videocalls...

When I joined my current company, I was the first remote employee, there were less than 200 people total. It's over 4000 now, all over the place.

I have no idea what would I want to ask from leadership. They are so far removed from me.

It’s a small company, yes. But I guess you still get a better sense of leadership even in a big company with a live video compared to a an email.
