Pro: Remote friendly (sometimes). Startups can't pay the big $$ for good talent, so they're more open to remote employees. I've worked for a few startups where I never met anyone else on the team face-to-face, worked from our corners of the world, and we built cool shit.
- vladimirralev 8y agoCon: Startups almost always screw the remote workers on stock and legal terms. I have yet to see a positive story. Illegal worldwide industry-wide non-competes, forward-dated options (if any), remote expensive jurisdictions, wrong financial info, etc. So yes, remote is a sweat deal if you are getting paid cash, but keep in mind most of these founders were laughed out of the room in their own HQ city's startup community.
