(Even if you don't apply, the CEO letter on the Careers page is worth a read!)

47. Whereby

"Come and join our team on a mission to build a world in which anywhere works."

Whereby is a way to connect over video—whether that's via meetings or integrating videos into your website, app, or product. They're fully remote, although most of the team is based out of Europe. Job benefits include healthcare benefits, uncapped annual leaves, and a $3,000/year remote working budget.

How does the Whereby team hire? If your application qualifies, there's a brief and informal 30-minute introductory call. The next stages are three to four hour-long interviews with members of the Whereby team. Then there's a paid working task, often with an hour of discussing your project. There might be coffee meets in between with your future colleagues, and the last step is a 30-60-minute interview with an executive. Whereby has a detailed Notion directory of how they work and hire. The one sharing the interview process (with examples!) might be particularly helpful.

See Whereby job openings.

48. YNAB (You Need A Budget)

"We are intentional about creating an environment where everyone gets to do important work they love."

YNAB is a finance management app. They have their team spread all over the work—U.S. and U.K. employees register as employees, everyone else as independent contractors. Employee benefits include a four-day workweek, a minimum of three weeks vacation per year, and profit sharing.

How does the YNAB team hire? If your application qualifies, you go through a culture questionnaire (called CQ). The next stage is a couple of rounds of interviews with your future manager and questionnaires. YNAB shared more about how to get a job in their company in one of their podcasts.
