At a certain point, this blog post seemed mostly about the great traveling opportunities that this company offers its employees. That's' neat, for employees who are kid-free. But as a developer married to developer... with 2 kids under the age of three... I can tell you that those work retreats abroad actually become pretty challenging for families. At a certain point.. people want to have kids. I would find a company who made their employee perks more about realistically supporting families far more appealing.
- franrull 9y agoI'm a team member of the company and it's true that it's challenging to organize this kind of retreats for families but we've done it a couple of times and we're currently organizing one in the Caribbean and looking into ways to integrate 2 of our colleagues that have recently had or will soon have kids, e.g. hiring a full time Au Pair. Also, we organize two types of events. Remote offices where the focus is on working from a remote place (Thailand, Cape Town) but also retreats (Ski trip) where the focus is on team building and there's little work. It's always easier for people with families to integrate in the second.
