Whimsical

We are a global, fully distributed company with no permanent offices. We work a calm, 40-hour work week and encourage as much deep work as possible with control over one's own schedule, and we offer a number of benefits that give employees extra personal time off (vacations, parental leave, summer Fridays off).

We are independent and make decisions looking at the long-term. We are mostly asynchronous. Everyone in the company can be involved in planning, but nobody is pressured to. We work in cycles where the team working on a project decides the best way to split up the tasks to get the work done.

We believe in the power of diverse backgrounds in all meanings of the words. We foster inclusive, collaborative, and sustainable working conditions for our employees, and we also try to provide better opportunities to others - our mission is to build tools that make online work better for everyone. Better online tools empower companies to hire more people remotely, and more remote hiring brings access to better opportunities to people globally.

We are united by a passion for creating the best software that has ever existed. We value craftsmanship. We're inspired by mastery and all the people in the company are constant and eager learners. Personal and professional growth is driven by the individual and supported by the company in regular 1-on-1s. We encourage knowledge sharing and self-development - be it through reading a book, taking an online course, listening to a podcast or chatting with like-minded folks.
