Remote first team activities
This might vary a little, but here s an overall idea of what you can expect.
First, there's a 30 minute call with a PetsApp engineer
Secondly, a longer call with an engineer and Will, our CTO
Finally, an hour talking through our culture with Thom, our CEO
You ll have noticed we don t talk about things like your birthday off, or a working-from-home allowance. Really, you re the best person to tell us how you do your best work, and we want you to be responsible for how you spend your days off and your own money. This is why we have a generous holiday allowance and above market rate salaries.
When we talk about flexibility, we mean it too. That s why you ll see our Slack statuses changing to or when we re out cycling in Regents Park or hiking in the Peak District. Sometimes you might even see a too. Other times you might not see it, but we'll be out picking up our kids from nursery or school, taking the dog for a walk or just sitting down for lunch with the family.
That doesn't mean we don't come together as a team though. Expect the occasional yoga session, cocktail making event, or movie night. These are just some of the things that our pack likes to do together. If we're not doing something that makes everyone s experience as good as it could be, we want to hear what else we could be doing!
At PetsApp, we're building a team of people passionate about pets. People of any gender, race, religion, sexual-orientation or ethnicity are welcome. We re already doing amazing work together to deliver on our mission of improving the lives of the world's pets. Because we're still pretty small, your voice will have a direct impact on the way we live our values and grow as a company.
For more about what it s like being part of the pack, check out this blog about PetsApp culture, written by Will and Thom.
