I work in Automattic. I had taken approx. 21 days of vacation so far this year.
I intend to take another ~20 this year.
I actually feel lazy because of this, so when I do work, I try to really focus. The result is, in one day I can accomplish what took me a week in previous job.
Mostly, because nobody is interrupting me ( we don't have an office )
We are hiring, here is my experience: https://piszek.com/2016/04/05/automattic/ https://piszek.com/2016/04/05/automattic/
- emilburzo 10y agoSo let me get this straight: they ignored your resume, ignored your real life ping for feedback on your resume and only got the ball rolling after you scored very high on a coding competition you weren't supposed to take? I understand they probably get a ton of applicants, especially with all the praise for work/life balance, but what chance does someone have at applying and actually being seen without any special circumstances? I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way, it's just that as someone currently looking for remote work, it's a bit depressing.
- artpi 10y agoNicely rummarized! :D I actually see people get hired much faster than I was. I may have been a crappy candidate. Also, I was applying in a moment when people were seriously overloaded, so thats why I needed to wait. But it sure is a lenghtier process then in traditional company!
