Does Developer Media drug test or do a background check?

Awesome. Everyone in the US is home based.
The sales team is the only division that works remotely as the corporate HQ is based in Toronto. It's not a policy, its just that there are no US offices.
How flexible is your work schedule at Developer Media?
I only work half days. I can choose whichever 12 hours a day I want. Just kidding. It's flexible within reason. We are all accountable for our numbers and getting the job done but at the same time if you have a doctor's appointment, or need a day off you can do so. We are all mature, professional adults who are responsible for our own results and contributions to the team. Although I imagine if one were to take advantage of the situation, there may be concerns. At the moment the honor system works well.
It's flexible but you have sales goals to hit.
