Goodbye San-Francisco centric companies. I will never go back to the centric typical tech company. This is global, midwestern, southern, mountains, beaches - everyone is sitting somewhere magical. This company is extremely diverse in thought and location.

Review from Sales Dept
Diversity and togetherness in an all remote company - amazing how they have been able to establish this when none of us have actually met!
Overall friendliness, assuming positive intent and family first (so it may happen that you're going to have a chance of meeting your coworker's spouses, kids, pets etc)
Everyone is very welcoming and nice. I haven't had any bad experiences working with people here.
Work-life balance, deadlines for deliverables
Review from Engineering Dept
The respect and good values and culture of the company.
We have a company handbook, which is public so anyone can read it, that details how we work and operates, and our values. Everyone in the company contributes to it and makes sure that we are held accountable for working and living by the values, which has led to a very strong culture.
Transparency, diversity, friends and family first
Great level of authonomy. Freedom and responsibility.
Overall friendliness, assuming positive intent and family first (so it may happen that you're going to have a chance of meeting your coworker's spouses, kids, pets etc)
Collaboration across teams is the best.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Culture starts at the top. When leadership at the top is toxic, it trickles down. There needs to be ways to keep leadership accountable and responsible for toxic work environments
The culture differs greatly between individuals and teams as it heavily depends on the location and the manager of the employee. It's an extreme divide between extremely happy employees and victims silenced by NDAs.
The culture is the definition of toxic positivity and passive aggression. Everything must be positive, criticism is not allowed, all actions are done to "improve" and objections are frowned upon. It's a very effective brain washing marketing effort.
Review from Sales Dept
The environment is extremely toxically positive to a point where it feels like brain washing. Nothing bad ever happens and criticisms are unwelcomed. Management can get away with any act of aggression or harassment as long as they use the right words and framing for their narrative.
Avoid gossiping and increase the open conversations to resolve missunderstandings or issues
