Still a great place working remotely
Pros
- Autonomy. This can be scary at first. You're in charge of your own destiny and nobody will tell you what to do. That doesn't mean your manager isn't there to help you figure this out. - People. Access to some of the smartest people in the business. - Access. You can dogfood unreleased Oculus hardware, play with apps only available in other countries. Everyone is keen to get feedback, so you can actually shape their roadmaps.
Cons
- Transparency is waning. There have been so many leaks that the weekly Q&As are less transparent these days, which is a shame because we need it more than ever. - External cynicism. Most of the reporting out there even from otherwise reputable media organisations is piss-poor and just full of empty rhetoric. That's not only annoying when you work here but bad for the world because this company DOES need to be held to account by the public and you can't do this when everybody is screaming about the equivalent of Hilary's emails.
